A notable exception would be Robert Jordan and his Wheel of Time series. He prepared notes so someone could finish the work and his widow picked Brandon Sanderson to finish the series. But I think it feels easier to milk it than to be thoughtful with the life's work of someone, as this requires a lot "would he have liked it" and to know this you would have to start caring early.
