## Answer
TL;DR Inherited co-owned minerals are undivided interests — each heir owns a fraction of every acre, not a specific piece, and each fraction is independently sellable, leasable, and bequeathable without the other owners' consent. When siblings disagree, one can sell while others hold, a family buyout can settle it (benchmark it with a written offer), or everyone sells together; partition is the expensive last resort. Fractionation compounds every generation, so run the math honestly. Key Takeaways Undivided means a fraction of every acre — no co-owner has a specific piece of the tract. You can sell or lease your own undivided share without your siblings' consent, and they keep theirs unaffected. A written third-party offer is the fair benchmark for any family buyout — in both directions. Partition exists in every state as the last resort; it is adversarial and expensive — exhaust the voluntary options first. Fractionation compounds each generation: more heirs, more paperwork, smaller checks per person.
