The person whose name is on the title of a property is billed for the taxes. If another party was given use of the property for life, there may or may not have been an agreement as to who paid those taxes. A review of that agreement is in order to see if there were any tax or upkeep obligations passed on to the party given use of the property. Are there?

The use of the term "previous owner" seems out of place here. Someone with "life use" doesn't own a property, and they can't "give it away" or "pass it on" because it does not belong to them. They, and they alone, had the use of the place and had an agreement as to the terms and conditions.

The owner of the property (and again, that's the person whose name is on the title) is the individual who will be sought to pay the taxes by the taxing authority. The county or whoever isn't interested in any of that "background" stuff, even though it may profoundly affect you and others. They (the taxing authority) bills the "registered owner" of the property for property and other taxes of ownership.

Given a home but previous owner will not remove personal property?

You should seek the advice of an attorney before disposing of the property. You may simply need to give notice by certified mail to the owner stating a time period during which the property must be removed. You must act within the law or it may come back to haunt you later if the owner sues and you have no proof that you followed the law.
