Where is the land located? Was your mother's will probated? What did the will say about who was to get the land. I am assuming that the land is in PA and that the will stated that all the siblings are to inherit the land in equal shares.
Your options are: (a) have your sister buy out the shares of those who do not want the land; (b) if you or your siblings do want the land, buy out the share of your sister or see if the land can be equally divided among all of you; or, bring a partition action in the county where the land is located.
