Is it permissible for the heirs to take the amount awarded by the court in the first half of the partnership debt, in addition to the interest and lawyer's fees, taking into consideration the debtor's prior refusal to pay, and the high cost of living and the expenses of pursuing the case for 15 years?

The procrastinating debtor must repay the debt and bear the costs of litigation, attorney's fees, and travel expenses. It is not permissible to impose an increase on him due to the high cost of living; rather, any such increase must be returned to him if it was given to you. The lawyer is only entitled to what was agreed upon or the customary fee.
