You should also be aware that, while they may only be able to sell their share, any co owner could force, through a partition action, the sale of the entire residence and the division of the proceeds between the co owners. This is expensive and time consuming, but can result in the property being sold without your consent. So, in effect, yes they can force a sale, but have to take legal action to do so without your participation.
