With permission from the family. Not the owner of the voice, who can't speak for themselves anymore, obviously.
Whilst I think most people feel like this is the one exceptional case where we will be okay with this, I feel like every exec is seeing it, and the community reaction to it, and saying, "So it is possible".
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"
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.
