If you own a life estate and want to own the fee simple in that property then you must buy it from the owner.

A person with a life estate has the right to the use and possession of the property for the duration of their natural life or whatever terms were made when the life estate was created. Some other person owns the fee simple in the property and they will acquire the use and possession of the property when the life estate has ended.

Ownership of real property is the broadest interest in land allowed by law in countries that allow private ownership of the land. It is referred to as "fee simple". Ownership in fee simple means you are the absolute owner. You can sell or give the land to someone else during your life or leave it to your heirs by your last will when you die. If you have no will the land will pass to your heirs according to the laws of intestate succession in your jurisdiction. A life estate must be granted by the owner of the fee simple by deed or by will. A life estate is the right to use and possess a property during life.
