Depends. Robert Jordan wanted another author to finish the Wheel of Time according to his notes (which he prepared beforehand) in the case he succumbed to his illness before completing the series, as indeed happened. So Sanderson finishing the WoT was the fulfillment of the author's wish.
But I agree that's very rare.
