The 2 children who do not want to hold the lot can sell their shares to the other 4 children so that they will own it all. Another method would be for the 2 who do not wish to hold the property to receive alternative assets of the estate in lieu of the interest in the property if all agree and the court will approve the same.

Alternatively, if the others do not wish to purchase the interest of the other 2, the 2 who want to sell can petition the court asking that the property be sold and the proceeds be given to the beneficiaries.
