I there are other grantees on the deed with you then yes, you are a co-owner.
You must get a deed from the co-owner who is incarcerated. Interests in real property are transferred by deed.
No. A co owner cannot "remove" the other co owner from the title. If you want their interest they must transfer it to you voluntarily by executing a deed. However, that is not good idea if they are on the mortgage because they will remain responsible for paying the mortgage.

As a co-owner of real property by deed you have the right to the use and possession of, and the profits from the property.
The only way to become the owner of real property is by deed or by inheritance. A person cannot make themselves the owner. They must acquire ownership via a deed from the legal owner. If you co-signed a mortgage for land you do not own then you are simply a volunteer who agreed to pay the mortgage on land you do not own. That doesn't give you any ownership interest in the property. If you are a co-owner of the property who also co-signed a mortgage, you cannot make yourself the "primary" owner of the property. You would need a deed from the other co-owner.
Only the co owner's estate can do that. The estate has rights in the property and will want compensation.
if the majority owner agrees Yes, a new deed can be made and signed by the current owner and new owner. it must be witnessed and notorized. Monies need not be transfered, except to pay for the process to be complete and deed recorded with the county. There has to be consideration, even if it's in the form of $1.00!
The owner of the real estate grants an interest to a co-owner by executing a deed naming that person as the grantee. The deed should be drafted by an attorney. Errors in deeds made by non-professionals can be expensive to correct, if they can be corrected.
The grantee on the deed is the owner of the property. Others who are not owners may co-sign the mortgage. Co-signing does not give ownership.
The mortgage must be paid off and the co-owner must refinance in their own name. The one who wants to take their name off the mortgage must convey their interest to the co-owner by deed.
You cannot take a living person's real property without their consent. The only way to transfer ownership is for the owner to convey their interest by a deed.
