The statute says otherwise. The acknowledgment is for purposes of recording, not verification of the veracity of the deed.
This is not intended to be legal advice. If the handwritten deed is not notarized, then the county cannot record that document. I have used this workaround in the past. First, have the daughter execute a corrective deed to you that annotates the handwritten document and attach a copy (not the original) of the handwritten document to the deed. This will not help you get the title transferred, but it will provide record notice that you have a possible claim in this interest. You can try to file a quiet title action; however, any significant value in the property will require a probate proceeding. You should start looking for an attorney that has experience in this area for representation.
