Removing a Living Person from a Life Estate If someone (an owner) is alive, they cannot be ?removed? from a deed. Further, a co-owner cannot remove the interests of other owners in an estate by executing a new deed without their consent. There is no direct or indirect way to eliminate any of them from a title.
