Smith, Carson, and Jones owned a pasture as tenants in common. Each had a one-third interest. When Smith died, her heir wished to force the sale of the property to obtain Smith's monetary share of the property. Smith's heir may do this by filing in court

A title delay is not a legal mechanism for forcing the sale of property. Instead, it refers to a situation where the transfer of property title is postponed or hindered, which does not provide any means for an heir or co-owner to claim their share or compel the sale.

The right of survivorship refers to a legal provision where the surviving co-owners automatically inherit the deceased owner's share upon their death. However, in this case, Smith owned the property as a tenant in common, which does not include this right; thus, it does not apply to Smith's heir seeking to sell the property.

An instrument of transfer is a document used to convey ownership or interest in property. While it can be part of a sale process, it does not directly compel the sale of property or establish any legal claim for an heir to force the sale, making it an inappropriate choice in this context.
