How do I remove a person from my land title?

Over 10 years ago I bought a property that was supposed to be free and clear. I was out of the country, so I did not have access to confirm. When I received the tax notice the following year, there was another name on the title as having 1/2 interest. I was unable to contact either the seller or the party who had 1/2 interest. I have paid the taxes on the land for the last 10 years, and the other party has not. I got the address of the other party from the county and attempted

to contact them about the property but received no response. Is there any way I can remove the other party from the land title?
