Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina

Laws governing life estate home
Step mother has life rights to fathers home willed to my wife. The step mother is not maintaining property as required, also is not paying re taxes. If a agreed sale is done how is it determined what the step mother is entitled to? Thank You If not, can she be forced out for failure to maintain and pry the taxes
