More facts about this tranaction would be useful. The legal documentation from the sales transaction must be examined. Generally, when real property is "co-owned" (there are numerous co-ownership arrangements), proceeds from the sale are dipersed to each party (you did not say how the title was held, what disbursement instructions were given [if any], whether there were any "withholds or "offsets", etc.).
You should seek legal counsel asap. You will want to have all of the documentation available prior to consultation.
