undivided interest

[smutlydog]

What is the name of your state?Texas

Three of us in the family are inheriting a 480 acre tract of land. This is going to be willed as an undivided interest. My brother and I want the land divided but my sister will probably fight us on that.

My father says that we can get a court to divide the land if that's what we choose.
Can my sister stop this from happening?

She is in charge of executing the will.

Be sure to factor in the $20K or so y'all will spend on lawyers when you are negotiating.
