This happened with another author too, V.C. Andrews. I guess people want to continue making money from their names, though it seems this practice would be illegal.

Johnstone and Robert Ludlum, this is probably old news, but I just found out this week. Ludlum died in 2001 and Johnstone died in 2004, so the books that have come out over the past 2 years for Johnstone and 6 years for Ludlum are not actually written by them. Just a side note.
