Estate property transferred without approval by one heir

Re: Estate property transferred without approval by one heir
Every person who inherits land has a right to sell that interest without the permission of the other heirs. The new owner of the heirs interest has the same right as the heir who deed him or her the land. If the heir who sold his interest own 1/2 with you, then the buyer owns 1/2 with you.
