Take the assistance of a lawyer since the property vested on you and your father.

You need to first contact with RWA of that society and obtain relevant documents and then to the office of Joint Registrar of that area alongwith the copy of death certificate, nomination papers, your identity proofs, your affidavit, the ownership proof etc. Charges can be known locally from the office of Joint Registrar.

1. you and your father both are the owners of the property,
2. Death Certificate of your mother, nomination documents, legal heir certificate are the mandatory documents in addition to ID, Residence proof, photo, affidavits, etc
3. better to consult a local lawyer

Dear Sir,
If that property is exclusive property of your mother then it will be devolved on the following provision of law. Further you may approach concerned department for change of katha.

As your mother died intestate, and the house is in your mother's name, you and your father have equal rights over the property. Get the death certificate of your mother and legal heir certificate from local Tahsildar. Then your father may relinquish his rights to you for his share on the property. The relinquishment deed shall be registered before the Joint Sub Registrar concerned. After registration of relinquishment deed you have to approach the society for changing into your name.

The property left behind by your deceased mother shall devolve equally on her legal heirs consisting your father and you if she is reported to have died intestate.
The nominee in the association is just a trust for receiving the proeprty on behalf of the legal heirs and same is to be distributed to the legal heirs.
You can apply for legal heirship certificate from the local revenue department and after that you can give an application to the Tehsildar seeking transfer of the revenue records from your deceased mother's name to your name as well your father name jointly.
After that the property shall be in the joint names of you and your father until your father relinquishes his rights in the property in your favor by executing a registered release deed.

1. As a Nominee of your Mother, legally you do NOT stand to automatically inherit "Title-Ownership" of mother's property. As a Nominee you will remain only a Trustee /Care-Taker of the property.
2. To obtain Title-Ownership of mother's property (since mother expired without making a WILL) and since property is in Mumbai district, you will have to apply for "Letter of Administration" to the High Court, by annexing consent affidavit /release affidavit of Father in your favor, and get a order for absolute title-ownership of mother's property. There is no other simpler legal way and neither are any other authority has jurisdiction to transfer property in your name, more so in the absence of a WILL of mother.
