yOU CANNOT REPRESENT A DEAD PERSON IN THE COURT PROCEEDINGS. IF HE HAS DIED THEN HOW CAN YOU AUTHORIZE TO REPRESENT HIM AS MEMO IS TO BE FILED ON BEHALF OF THE PERSON ENGAGING US.

Memo is not a petition but an information conveyed to the court. Memo is not to be adjudicated and no order can be passed in memo. Court will simply record the memo, in your case the death of your client and the date of death, and proceed further in accordance with law. Therefore no authorization is required.
