When it comes to making TV Series of books, getting them made is way more difficult than just finding someone to buy the rights. there's been 3 or 4 attempts over the years by various places to come to an agreement on making something from Magician (Raymond E Feist) and the saga that follows. It's way more difficult than we thing, and in some way it's amazing what does actually get made. Would certainly be great to have a Discworld series too
It very much depends on what else was in his will regarding post death rights and his estate etc. I know there was a thing about the destruction of unfinished manuscripts, that I believe Neil Gaiman had a hand in executing
That depends on how you feel about other authors interpreting a deceased authors notes. Terry Pratchett obviously felt pretty strongly that no other author would be able to do justice to his notes, and he didn't want another author profiting from publishing something 'from the notes of Terry Pratchett' or similar.

I've been watching the Shannara Chronicles, and feel like it's just a matter of time before Pratchett is exploited... Hopefully for good...

Wait, is that good or bad?
