You can bring an action for partition in the circuit court of your county with an eye, not toward selling the property, but toward getting the interests of the parties determined by the court. You will probably be required to attend mediation and will probably settle the issues prior to trial.

You will have to bring an action in partition to determine the rights of the parties.
