You can sue him--you bring a legal action seeking both a declaratory judgment settling or determining that you own the home, and a court order (injunction) requiring him to sign the title. It would be best if you retained an attorney to do this for you, though you could bring the action himself--you would have to bring it in county court, not small claims court, however, since this would involve an exercise of what is called equity powers.
