The will has to be perused threadbare to know if mother can sell the property during her lifetime. The suggestion of your lawyer is the best possible suggestion if the will is not registered.
If the children are planning to sell the property against the conditions of bequest made in the will, the prime beneficiary i.e., the mother shall remain a loser even if she agrees to it.
However if they plan to sell the property now ignoring the will and its condition, then the sale proceeds of the property shall be divided equally or as per the mutual agreement among themselves.
Partition is not necessary if all the shareholders decide to sell the property jointly.
1. Was the will registered?
2. If not then the fact of existence of the will can be suppressed and the property be jointly sold as it is by all the legal heirs,
3. For jointly executing and registering the sale deed, the said property need not be partitioned at all and can be sold as a jointly inherited and held property.
