ANSWER:

If you have gone to the Surrogate's Court to probate her estate and obtained Letters of Administration appointing you and your brother as co-executors, all you need to do is prepare a deed from you as co-executors of your mom's estate to whomever you are granting it to and have it recorded with all the proper affidavits and certifications.

It must be prepared properly in order for it to be recorded and include the proper language so that it does in fact pass proper title.

This is a relatively inexpensive proposition if you wish to hire an attorney to do this for you. You should understand that any transfer of property involves issues that you may not understand and you should consult a real estate and/or estate attorney so that you and your brother are aware of these issues.
