My dad passed away two years ago. I’d like to transfer his house to my mom and me jointly. What’s the process if we live in a Mumbai suburb and are Hindus?

You’ll need to obtain a Succession Certificate from the Mumbai Sub-Registrar’s office, proving your right to inherit the property as legal heirs. Then, you can execute a joint transfer deed in your and your mother’s names, registering it with the same office and paying relevant stamp duty.
