Lets the heirs respect the wishes of the artist, and get things after the artist's death cleared up, but not create a career off managing the copyright.

I personally don't think "lifetime" should play into the equation at all. One person might live 70 years after they publish, another person could die the day after they publish. This is way to variable. It should just be a standard length of time, no more than 10 years in my opinion...
