I can see both views. On the one hand, authors aren't always the best judges of their own work and executors can hire someone who may do a good job of polishing. On the other hand, there are unfinished works that are relatively mediocre (True at First Light) or just clearly unfinished (The Last Tycoon).
Of course, a movie studio is almost certain to finish off a movie if a director dies and may remove them for other reasons.
