The answer is that it may not be possible to "remove" your sister from title against her will. How did your sister come to have her name on the title? Is there any question about the way that your sister came to be on title?

Basically, unless your sister did something improper to get herself on the title, you will unlikely to be able to just take away her vested ownership rights in the title.

You will need to seek the intervention of the Court to force a sale in lieu of partition.
