Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

My parents are recently deceased. They had 160 acres of land that was willed to their four sons, each receiving 40 acres. One son is having financial difficulties and might be declaring bankruptcy. Is there anything he can do that will help preserve the entire 160 acre block without 40 acres going to auction?
