Income tax rent claim

My father and his brothers have built individual house on the land which belongs to their father(my grandfather). My grandfather has expired and not left behind any will related to the land distribution. But my father and his brothers have good relation. Each one has own electricity and telephone connection on their Name for their house. But the house which is built is still not on their Name. Now I am planning to claim tax rebate on the rental component. Can I claim I am paying rent to my father and declare it in the income tax filing? What documents would be needed by my father to prove house belongs to his name(as the land on which it is built is still on my grandfather's name)

We also have individual ration cards and Aadhaar card.
Dear alan after death the property is inherited to the family members. So it can be divided equally by mutual concern and hence your will be called as a co-owner in that property. In your case you just take rent receipts from the market and fill it by yourself and file it to your employer to claim hra(I am assuming you want it for this purpose?) so no need to do anything else. But I suggest you to make a proper inheritance documents soon. regards
I missed a word above "your father will be called as co-owner"
Dear Manoj, Thanks for quick response.. As now a days we submit the PAN card of owner, I will submit it for my father, but if any one ask for any proof what documents can be submitted Thanks.
