Your mom would have to sign a deed transferring the property from her to you and her. As the surviving spouse, she now owns the property and will have to present a copy of your dad's death certificate. You should be careful that your sisters do not object to this, or that a claim could be made that you are unduly influencing your mother to give you the property.
