Can I prevent them paying my land taxes?



QUESTION: Dear Legal Wiz,
Someone paid off my taxes. I haven’t left Jamaica, but I found out that a neighbour is paying my taxes. I am an elderly person and recently learnt that this neighbour is planning a take over by claiming I am not able to take care of my property. I fear the worse though. I asked a young man to help me send this to you and I am praying you can take time out to assist.
Felix

RESPONSE: Dear Felix,First of all, if you trust this young man, get them to help you to pay taxes online. Please visit www.jamaicatax-online.gov.jm, access relating section and follow procedures.
You cant bar someone from paying your taxes, but if you stay up to date they cant. Consult an attorney who can assist in doing something to protecting your title.
