How does the Court manage a Family Provisions claim when the assets have already been distributed to beneficiaries?

The Estate had under $150,000 in cash only assets (no real estate or anything else).

The cash assets have already been distributed to the beneficiaries and spent 12 months ago.

A claim by an estranged Family member who hasn't been heard from in 20 years has just made a claim (wasn't included in the will).
