There is nothing to force you to have it in the first place, it's just to disinguish between two people, but if you do adopt it, then there is no reason to drop it (you are free to do so though, obviously). e.g. If you are junior because your father has the same name, then you are still the junior of the two after the father dies

If SR dies does JR still have to sign as JR or he can drop the JR?
He can keep or drop the JR, as he chooses. Many keep it for a while and drop it later. For example the entertainer, Sammy Davis, Jr., continued to use "JR" for several years after his father died, but was known simply as "Sammy Davis" during the last years of his life. On the other hand, when speaking of father and son historical figures of the same name, it is not unusual to use SR and JR decades or centuries after they have died, as that is often the easiest way of telling them apart. As a result, 2000 years after they lived, we still speak of Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger, which was the ancient Roman way of saying SR and JR in Latin.
