It may be less costly for the beneficiary who wants to keep the property to buy out the others. The property could be appraised and a fair offer made. A court is not likely to order beneficiaries to sell their interests to one co-beneficiary. That would not be ordered in a partition action.
The legal costs would be less in that type of transaction. If the other owners refuse the offer then the one can petition to have the property partitioned in a court of equity proceeding. Partition statutes allow those who own property in common to obtain a court decree ordering the sale of the property when the other owners don't want to sell.
Generally, petitions are filed in a court of equity such as the probate court. The court will appoint a commissioner to have the property appraised. The commissioner will market it through a real estate agency and sell once an acceptable offer has been made. The costs associated with a sale by partition are high since court costs, legal costs and several professionals must be paid from the proceeds. Once all the costs have been paid the net proceeds are divided equally among the owners.

A legatee is defined as a person who receives goods via a will. Anyone who takes anything pursuant to a will is a legatee. The term is somewhat archaic with a legatee defined as a person who inherited or took personal property as opposed to a devisee, who inherited real property. Both terms were replaced by beneficiary.

No. A beneficiary has no authority to name a beneficiary of another's property. Only the principal can name the beneficiary. Generally, if the primary beneficiary declines to accept the inheritance then the gift will lapse and the property will be included in the estate.
If the decedent owned property then the will must be probated. Once a will is filed for probate it becomes a public record and you can request the file and review the will. However, if you are a named beneficiary or an heir at law, you should receive a notice in the mail that the will has been presented for allowance and someone has petitioned to be appointed the executor.
The estate must be probated. The duly appointed estate representative has authority over the property. The beneficiary cannot take full possession until any debts of the estate have been paid and the estate has been settled.

It's important to consult with a tax professional or lawyer to understand the specific rules and exemptions that may apply in your situation.
