Are there any legal documents that will allow a surviving spouse to conduct business under her deceased spouse's name?

Power of Attorney is only for the living, correct?

Are there any documents that can be drawn up stating that the surviving spouse has the rights to perform business transactions under her deceased husband’s name?

For ex: A mortgage that did NOT have HER name on it, but she continues to pay it.

No will was written.

What options are available, if any?
