To extinguish a life estate while the life tenant is living you must obtain an appropriate release in writing from the life tenant and record it in the land records to clear the title.

The life tenant must sign the deed and there should be a statement included at the end of the deed that they are signing so as to release their life estate.
If the life tenant is not fulfilling their responsibilities regarding the property and is unwilling to release their life estate you must obtain a court order. You would need to provide the court with compelling evidence to support your request.
