First, for an attorney to properly and appropriately comment on your inquiry, he or she would need to meet with you to review all the relevant circumstances. Thus, I would suggest meeting with an attorney who can more properly advise you. Otherwise, below you will find some preliminary guidance.
The property is "legally" owned by your and your sister, at least based on the will (which again should be reviewed) and based on what you have related. The title of the property should be transferred accordingly. At that juncture, if you and your sister cannot cooperate in either the management and maintenance of the property or agree to sell the property, then an action in partition could be started on your behalf. Or, prior to initiation of seeking court intervention, an attorney could communicate with your sister and offer her the opportunity to buy your 1/2 interest (for half the appraised value or even a little less than 1/2 if you think that your sister would be more agreeable if she was getting a "good bargain" and which would ultimately save you in legal fees). If she is agreeable, an agreement should be prepared, money exchanged and a deed and other related and required legal documents should be prepared and recorded, transferring title to your sister alone and paying any applicable transfer taxes.
Also, although the facts are not totally clear, any maintenance expenses (such as the cabling etc.) is the responsibility of both you and your sister in proportionate share to your respective interests.
