While the Statute of Frauds requires that land sales be in writing, which potentially defeats your daughters effort at having her name on the deed, she should have a claim for fraud or a quasi contractual theory of unjust enrichment. Such claims could result in repayment of the down money or at least a judgment in her favor for that amount.
