Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Washington

How can I get the deed in my name?

I offered to help my step-son and his wife purchase a bigger home . They live in Washington and I live in Oregon. To save time I had my bank do a wire transfer for the purchase price and the deed was made out to the daughter- in-law.She has since decided not to make any payments on the house.Basically telling me, screw you.Do I have any recourse? She cannot show one payment ever made to me.

Re: How can I get the deed in my name?

Your only recourse is to sue her for the entire amount of the wire transfer here in Washington. You can have an attorney send a threatening letter that carries the message that your step-son and his wife can either pay or get sued by you. What county is the property in? How much is involved here from a monetary standpoint? Please advise.
