In all likelihood they will need to file a "Partition" action, which in all likelihood will result in the property being sold, and all three receiving their share after expenses of litigation, etc. are paid. At the risk of sounding too obvious, everyone will come out better if they work together rather than work against each other. They should talk.

Yes, your friend will need a lawyer. No easy way around this. Good luck to your friend.
