I think they should get money "FOREVER"...all the heirs. Why? Making a movie is an endeavor that is done for money, if it wasn't then it wouldn't matter if the "producers" gave money to heirs. If they had made buttons to wear because they loved jrr tokkein stories so much and they didn't sell them then no. Why should they get money? Think of it as intelectual property that people are trying to capitalize on and they want to get it for free. Why should they get it for free? because it was a long time. You're telling me that if you own something for a time eventually I get it because you've had it too long. Why do you want to use the idea or story in the first place? It has commercial value and you love the story as well so why wouldn't you want to give money to the heirs, wouldn't jrr tokkein want it.
