The dead have no legal rights. However, the estate of a deceased person acquires many of the same rights as the person had while alive. The executor or administrator of the estate carries out the final collections and payments on behalf of the estate, and should attempt to enforce all rights of the deceased (including pension and other contracts payable to the deceased, privacy, personal choice in disposal of remains, disposal of the estate assets, payment of taxes, etc).
