You should speak with a real estate attorney to learn your legal rights.  Once your attorney knows all of the facts, including the history of your use and connection with this property since its purchase, he or she will be able to recommend options.  A quiet title action may be of help.  A partition action might also be considered.  In either case a court will need to determine your interest in this property.  Since this is a transaction between family members, it is likely that the written record will be minimal.  Obtaining all the facts available, including documenting the source of the down payment money, will be critical.
