Someone needs to step in and get appointed as estate administrator and get these matters resolve.

If the property has already been through probate and you all have jointly been placed in full ownership of the property (called "ownership in indivision"), you can file a petition to partition the property. This is basically telling the court that you no longer want to own the property jointly, and you either want the others to buy you out or want it sold.
