Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

my uncle and I have an undivided 1/2 interest, tenants in common. I inherited 4.22 acres and a house from my mother and my uncle has 1.99 aces. I received a letter with three options.

1. buy him out, 2. sell his land, dispose of the home, 3. the court will sell the land. Do I have to give up the house?

What you are saying is inconsistent. If you have one part and he has another, it's not an undivided tenants in common interest. If it is, he is entitled to have it sold in lieu of partition, but only if it can't be actually physically divided into parcels of equal value. You definitely need to see a lawyer about this.
