THE TENANT IS STILL ALIVE BUT HAS MOVED
we need to know more facts. Who granted the life estate? Are they still alive? Were there any terms to the life estate, such as "if unable to occupy for six consecutive months, the life estate terminates". The person granted the life estate can also terminate it by filing a document at the registry of deeds.

∙ 15y agoThe owner of the life estate must release it to the owners of the property. The easiest way would be using a quitclaim deed stating that they are releasing all their right, title and interest in the property. The quitclaim deed should then be referenced to the deed that created the life estate and recorded in the land records.
