Re: assets of an estate
It depends on who the administrator(s) are, and if all the children are beneficiaries (I assume they are under IL intestacy). More information is needed to properly answer the question. I can tell you that the three children can (and probably should) immediately get a court order stopping all selling of assets by the fourth child until the matter is figured out.
I would need to know if the father was married as well.
