Quickclaim deed was made to daughter; money not received but property was put in her name. I am the mother and am living on property and paying taxes and up keep. Daughter is living out of state. How can I get this reversed and back into my name?

Once a deed is recorded for property with a county's recorder's office be it a quit claim or a grant deed, the presumption is that adequate consideration was given fo the recording and transfer of title from one person to another.
Title was placed in your daughter's name of a piece of property by way of nominal consideration of one dollar. She is the presumed owner and consideration for the transfer was presumably given before the quit claim was recorded.
If you want legal title to the property back in your name, your daughter needs to either sign a grant deed or quit claim deed of the property given to her by you back to you and have it recorded in the county recorder where the property is located.
