I wouldn't want my family to make decisions for me after I die, and I think that's even more true for actors.
"Can we use your grandpa's voice?"
"No."
"For fifty bucks?"
"Sure, take it"
I dunno, once you're dead nothing else really matters anymore, does it? You're not a person anymore, so why would your opinion matter? If my family can use my legacy to make money for themselves, I would just be happy knowing they'd be a bit better off once I'm gone. And if they choose to protect the right to use my voice/likeness after I'm gone, I'd prefer that they do so because of their own personal beliefs, not because they believe they have to do so for my sake.
It matters to society, in the same way funerary rituals aren't for the dead, but for the living
Who would you want to make decisions for you when you die then? Keeping in mind saying no is still a decision.
Nobody. I died, leave me alone and ask one of the thousand actors out there who are still breathing.
Make a will.
I feel like that answer is for you and you alone, and not for actors in general. Personally I don't really see why I would be worried about this after I die (after all, I'm dead ), and if it helps my family a bit then it'd probably just make me rest easier if anything.
