There are certain circumstances under which an attorney may sell property that was specifically devised to a beneficiary. If the debts of the estate are greater than the assets, the assets must be sold to satisfy the debts. If the legacies are greater than the estate assets then some of the property may have to be sold in order to pay the legacies on a pro-rated basis. All the beneficiaries will get a little less, equally.

Not really. The property has to be sold for fair market value. There is some latitude if the assets exceed the debts of the estate. Or the beneficiary's can agree to a lessor price if it is being sold to another beneficiary. Often siblings will let another sibling buy them out of the property for a lower price.
