Not if the title is in your name, 1/6th of what? Are you an heir or is your name on the title.

Who is "they?" If you are an owner and one of the other owners is making this claim, the answer is almost certainly "no." If it is any other situation, then more facts are needed.

They can say it. So what? Are you an owner under a recorded deed? Lots of people own property they never go to. Do you pay your share of property tax, insurance, maintenance? Do you do those things an owner of property does? If you own 1/6th of real property, effectively you own nothing. See if one of the other owners wants to buy you out, or if all owners will agree to sell.

Seek the opinion of a real property lawyer in your area. Not enough facts to not answer the question.

Not if you are an owner on title.

Not necessarily. To abandon property, one has to fail to pay taxes or fail to object to some one building on or taking over the property.

Other co-owners? I doubt it unless you also are not paying your share of taxes and upkeep, etc. But even then, I don't think abandonment works.
