Depending on the religion of your father , the law of succession will apply if your father has not left a will. A nominee is kind of caretaker of the property , and the lawful heir can claim their share.

As per the Hindu Law of Succession, the property devolves equally upon all the legal heirs including married daughter. Nomination is only for the administrative convenience of the Housing Society. Nominee derives no legal title to the property. He only holds it in trust for all the other legal heirs. If you are the only surviving legal heir,then the right in the property would devolve upon you on the demise of your parents.
