You still lose the title upon death; it's handed down to the next in line. They are former holders of the title. It's only in North Korea where dead people are still in charge of the government :P And I disagree on your point about allies. Those allies are still alive and are still considered to be allied with the deceased. Being allied with someone is different from holding a title. Those who you were allied with don't stop in death. Someone doesn't stop being a friend just because they die. You stop being king if you die, and the title is passed on. The only time that you would use "formerly" in the case of allies would be if they changed affiliation in life.
