Yes, if more of you want to sell the inherited property than don't, you can take the matter up in court, and the court will rule on the side of the majority — barring a compelling legal reason for deciding otherwise. But this fails to take everything into account.  If you inherited a property together, you're likely siblings or close relatives, and taking one another to court in the face of a significant loss like the death of a loved one is something you should only turn to as a last resort. This is a vulnerable time for everyone involved, and it's not unusual for families to fracture over inheritance concerns. Avoiding this outcome is obviously preferable. The best path forward is exploring your best options, taking everyone's opinion into careful consideration, and trying to find a middle ground — which could mean allowing yourself to be bought out, attempting to buy out any holdouts, or considering innovative alternatives that might work for everyone.  Not pushing the matter is often the best strategy. In the end, it might take some of your co-owners longer to come around to the idea of selling, and giving them the space they need to do so can prove invaluable.
