A: Hire a competent ID attorney to do one or the other: draft a Deed with proper Derivation of Title Clause and you sell your tenancy in common interest for an agreed price actually paid over; or file suit for a Partition Sale.
Kevin M Rogers agrees with this answer
A: I agree with Mr. Avery. Either come to an agreement with perhaps a threatened partition of the property, or simply file a Petition for Partition of the land.
