We have house in rural parts of India which my father had acquired this property through the separation about 40 years ago. We don't have the legal papers to this property but we have been paying taxes for the past 40 years. Can we claim this house now? Can my relatives create problems as their names are on the papers of the property?

You can file a suit on the basis of adverse possession before a court of competent civil jurisdiction and seek ownership of the property on the basis of you being in exclusive possesion of the property for over 12 years.
