Most likely.
Re: inherited properety
The quick answer is yes. A joint tenant may force the sale of jointly owned Florida real property by filing an action for partition. The Court will order a sale, subject to claims of the parties, and a division of the proceeds, unless the property is easily divisible. Since property is seldom divisible, a partition sale is likely. Contact an attorney to file the action.
