As the interest of minor is involved in property, it is better to ask the guardian of the minor to obtain court's permission before proceeding to sell the minor's share.  A minor cannot legally give any consent. If the transaction is beneficial for the minor, the court will give the permission which will be binding upon the minor even when he attains majority.

Madam,

Their family is very much needy and they want to sell of the property as early as possiable since running in financial crunch at this juncture taking court's order could be time consuming ( atleast 6 to 8 months)& cost consuming event so is ther any other way that undertaking before Chief Judicial Magistrate  or even a court order which would be less time consuimg .
