More information would be needed. Did you purchase the taxes at tax sale? Are you making an adverse possession claim? Contact a real estate attorney in your area for specific advice.
Your question would be best discussed in an appointment. If you are Person A, then see an attorney experienced in probate and real estate. If you are Person B, see an attorney that has experience in filing for a tax deed, assuming that paying the delinquent taxes means they were bought at a tax sale (as opposed to just paying overdue taxes or redeeming the property from a tax sale). Obtaining a tax deed requires strict adherence to the statutory requirements and should be handled by an attorney experienced in the process.
