Final answer:

When Dole, a life tenant, grants Howe an easement across Dole's land and later Dole dies, the easement will continue to exist and be binding upon the successor of the life estate.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a life tenant grants an easement across their land and later dies, the easement continues to exist and is binding upon the successor of the life estate, which is typically the remainderman.

In this scenario, when Dole dies, the easement that was granted to Howe will still be valid and enforceable. It will continue to burden the land, and Howe will have the right to use the easement as originally granted.

For example, if Dole granted Howe an easement to cross Dole's land for the purpose of accessing a nearby road, even after Dole's death, Howe will still have the right to use the easement for accessing the road.
