> What point is there in satisfying the wishes of someone that's already dead?

Well, that's why wills exist.

If you decided to split your wealth between your grandchildren when you passed away, should that wish be discarded now because you're dead so who cares?

[Aeolun]

Of course not, but that has more to do with making things workable for the living (e.g. no constant fights over inheritance) than with the wishes of the dead.

Billionaires spend a lot of time and effort in managing their money from beyond the grave.
