Yes, on an action for partition they can compel the purchase of their interest or the sale of the entire property. Since their interest is only one-third, it might be valued differently if their share were to be purchased by the other owners.

Yes, they can. They can compel the court to ask for a sale of the property and divide the proceeds into three.
