More details to this question:
I was living with my girlfriend in Pennsylvania. I bought a piece of land for cash but due to my financial situation I was unable to put it in my name. I gave her the money in cash and she made the purchase in her name. We have split up now and she is refusing to sign the property over to me or even to give me half of the money I paid for it. Legally is there anything I can do?

Yes. You can sue her for the property or its value. You would need to be able to prove that it was your money that purchased the land, and that it was not intended as a gift. You should see an attorney who practices real estate or contract law, as this is not a "family law" matter, but a civil case.
