You should seek advice from a real estate attorney
A: You would want and need to have the property deed reviewed to see precisely how the property is held, based on this, will determine what can be done with the property and how it will be handled and held. Generally, if it is a Tenants in Common, that means they own 50% and they can potentially do as they wish with their share/half/percentage. A real estate and Florida Estate Planning Attorney will be able to additionally advise you and give you feedback. You are correct, with two names on the property, you need consent of both to sell.
