A: You potentially have two easy solutions: get a quit-claim deed from the original grantor to you only and record it (best); or get the boyfriend to quit-claim his tenant in common interest to you only, then record both deeds in their chronological order. Otherwise you are left with adverse possession which is not good against a co-tenant in common.
