Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

It is possible that she may have recorded a quit claim deed from herself to you or someone else. It is hard to state more as yu have not indicated how the property was held.

You should schedule a consultation with an attorney in your area, one experienced in both real estate and family law would be a good choice.
