Rabbaim, when it comes to compelling behavior from the grave, including worthy behavior, Gentile courts (American ones, at least) operate under the principle of “You can’t take it with you” except under very odd circumstances. Out of ignorance, I do not know whether batei din behave differently. My hava amina is that we have our time in this world to make our efforts, and when it’s done, it’s done. But does anyone on this thread have a credible answer in halakha?
