Can a spouse waive the attorney client privilege for a deceased subject?

In some states, such as Ohio, yes, a spouse can waive the attorney-client privilege. A spouse can waive it or the executor of the estate. See case "State v. Doe" in Ohio case law. The attorney for a deceased inmate who was involved in the murder/disappearance of Erica Baker, was made to testify about the information concerning her client, even though her client requested that she not reveal what happened. Justice Moyer reasoned that the privilege is held by the client and not the lawyer and that since the spouse waived such privilege, she must reveal her confidences.
