The only reasonable option would be giving her the house
No need. The house is already hers if the laws over there work as they do where I live. Anything somebody else builds on your land becomes your ownership automatically. The developer knows this and tries to bully and cajole her into getting his money back or at least cut some of the losses.
There’s a quote from the realator involved to the effect of “we need to resolve this”. Notice the language technically is just saying we’ll work this out, but it’s worded with the implication that it’s on her to make good. Which, no, it isn’t.
Her correct response would be “my lawyer will be in touch”, and looks like she did that. I don’t know if this is going to get her into Fuck You Money or not, but either way, she seems to be smart enough to let her lawyer do the talking.

It’s probably similar in Hawai’i but don’t underestimate the power of money to fuck over the little guy.
