You need to speak to a competent real estate attorney. It sounds as though you have a tenancy in common, which is governed by quirky rules. For example, although each owner may only have fractional ownership, each owner is allowed to access the entire property. Special rules govern situations known as "ouster" and I cannot tell from your post whether ouster has occurred.
