For quite a few, yes. The actors may be dead, but they often have heirs. Though, for Max, that would be interesting. Up until the collapse of East Germany, there was not much still known about him. Going over his imdb page, he was married though no mention of children. Same goes for his Wikipedia page, but those are both rather brief entries. He passed in '36, and was married in 1910, possible to not have kids, but there could be some unscrupulous family members who could try and make a claim to the legacy.
