The tax deed is issued upon application by the tax sale purchaser after a two year waiting period, IC 6-1.1-25-4, and after notice to the “former owner” by certified mail. IC 6-1.1-25-6. IC 6-1.1-25-16(7) provides that the original owner may defeat a tax deed by proving “that the notices required by IC 6-1.1-24-4 and [IC 6-1.1-25-6] were not given in the manner prescribed in those sections.” (Emphasis added.)”
