An attorney will need more information. It might be that it could be sold "subject to" the rights of a life tenant.

Re: Sale of property

The holder of a life estate interest may convey that interest. However, the recipient of the life estate will have a right to occupy the premises for the measuring life, which is typically the person who initially conveyed the life estate. If you need a more in-depth analysis of your individual situation, you should seek guidance from a real estate attorney.
