Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

In or around 35 years back, my Husband�s Grandfather bought 1000 sq. ft. (approx.) house in Mumbai undger pagadi system. He died 30 years back Since then we get rent receipts, Electricity Bill in grandfather�s name till date. His Grandmother is also died. My Father-in-Law (FIL) have 3 younger brothers and 2 sisters (other legal heirs). At present only one brother is staying in that house. Ration Card is registered in my FIL�s name and we have got our Voter-ID Cards and we are not any other documents in our and/or other legal heirs name.

My question is

1. How can we prove our ownership of the house?

2. What are the documents required?

3. How much time it will take?
