Unless it was titled as survivors, than it likely is tenants in common and the decedent's share must be cleared through probate. Have an attorney review the ownership documents including the deed and opine about how to proceed.

I agree with Attorney Stein's response. I would add, that until the co-owner's share goes through probate, you will only be able to sell your interest in the property.

Mr. Stein is absolutely correct. An attorney will need to see how the title to the deed was stated in order to truly answer your question.
