If you signed a quit claim deed (note: it's quit claim, not quick claim) signing your interest in your mother's home over to your sister (or to her son), then you likely can't get your property back. You made a gift. If you have something in writing that shows your sister promising to pay you for your interest, then you may have a breach-of-contract case that could allow you to get paid (or at least get a claim against your sister), but you probably can't get the property back. I wish you had asked this questions before you signed any deed. I would have told you not to sign the deed unless and until you had a check in hand for the full value of your interest, because the transfer of real estate is not generally something you can undo easily.
