I know of one author that stipulated in his will that all his unfinished manuscripts and hard drives be burned on his death.
And then there's Mark Twain who had filing cabinets of materials to feed future manuscripts and his will stipulated that an archivist pull together another autobiography from that material 100 years (I think) after his death.
But I think most authors generally stop writing when they die and maybe have one or two books finished posthumously and that's it. Point being, while some authors might be worth watching forever, others not so much.
