More details to this question:
My kids father is deceased. His father who is also deceased left some land for him and his other 3 brothers and sisters. The land has not been touched only a piece of it that had to get in contact with me last year to sale. I was wondering is there any way that I can get them to buy my kids out of their portion of the land? The land wasn't left to anyone in particular just to all of his kids. I don't know how this kind of thing works, but a lady down out the court office toled me I need to contact a lawyer.

Your kids can offer to sell their interests to the other owners, but there's no way you can actually force the other owners to buy the interests. If the kids really want to get out of the mess, they may need to file a suit to have the property partitioned. That would allow them to get out of their interests. However, petition suits can go on forever, and the resulting interests may be so small or limited in value that no one will purchase them. If your kids want to try to get out of this property, find a good real estate attorney and have them help with negotiations.
