You are entitled to reimbursement for one-half of your expenditures for debt service, taxes and insurance; but it may require a court ruling to get it. You should consult an attorney.

I think you may have confused your terms. I don't know of anyone becoming a tenant in common without his/her knowledge. You should have an attorney located where the property is located to review all of the facts and documents and apprise you of the situation.
