You can sue them for the bill. You can also file suit to have the Court partition (split up) the property. The Court can physically split the property if that is possible (as with rural land), or order a sale of the property with each party to get their fair share of the proceeds. In such instance, you will be entitled to reimbursement for any funds you spent to keep up their share, including maintenance, taxes, insurance, etc.
