Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana

In the sate of Louisiana, what is a general idea of cost of administering a small estate of $250 thousand with real estate? How hard would it be to get a judge to take court cost from the estate. There are 2 brother's and one inherited almost every thing and it seems unfair for the brother getting very little to have to pay court costs out of his share.
