My mom has recently passed away. I am wondering what paperwork I need to file to change ownership.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jeannie:
Sorry for your loss.
Much of this depends on how the property was held, if it was in a trust, and/or whether your mother had a Will. Or your mother might have had a transfer on death deed. Most often this will require a probate.

My mom did not have any of that. It is just myself and my sister. She lived with me, so I have all the records of property she owned.

If she did not have a Will, the cleanest option for minerals that produce income is usually a probate. If the minerals are not producing income (or very little income), then an affidavit of heirship may be the best route.
