The short answer is: if you paid the taxes, then you can claim

However, I am wondering why a lender would lend money to
someone who is not the title-owner of the security; thus, I
tend to think that you are a joint owner or tenant in common
with the party or parties on the loan. If this is true, then
we're going to need more facts before we can give you a cogent
answer to your question.
