Is it illegal to sell heir property without everyone consent?

It recent came to our attention that certain family members are in the process of selling land without our knowledge. We were told that the individual planning buying the land, could get an injunction to purchase the land, without our agreement. Is this true? They already obtained one signature from someone in the nursing home. We are not sure if that person actually signed.

Answer:
Is this a property that's included in a deceased person's estate? Are you an heir? Is there a will stating which heirs get the property?

Knowingly acting against the contents of a will is illegal. Cutting other heirs out of their rightful share of the settlement is a crime.

If you know the lawyer handling the will, call the lawyer right away and report what you know about the impending sale of the property. Ask the lawyer to get the probate judge to issue an order to stop the sale of the property. Otherwise, call the clerk at the probate court to report the abuse.
Yes, it is illegal.
yes it is illegal, and you should consult an attorney.
illegal
It's all depend on the clauses of the Will, and the divided part each of the heirs are entitled to.

But yes giving the right provisions in a will it could be perfectly legal and there would be nothing you could do about it.

Unless it's a main residence but then again the law concerning division of heir real property without a Will it's different in each state.

You should get a hold of any document left by the deceased and go talk to a lawyer.
Is the person who is selling the executor of the estate? And how does the will read, the property was left specifically to someone, or assets were to be divided among a number of people? It's not at all unusual, and is perfectly legal, for assets to be sold by the executor, and the money divided among the heirs.

If the will has specific provisions on leaving the land itself to someone, then the executor should be abiding by that.
if the person who owns the land is still alive then they can do what they want with the land even if in the will they said they would leave it to x heirs,

Now if the person who owns the land is currently in a nursing home maybe if they have a been losing their mental capacity and thus where influenced into signing an agreement to sell the land to y, you may have a case, or if the person in nursing home has Alzheimer's then maybe a case

But heirs have no right to property until death of the person a person with their full mental capacity can always change their minds about property they control no mater what is in the will
