I thought certification would be required 50 years post publication, not
post mortem. If that's so then unless the author dies immediately upon
penning the final strophe of a work, 50 years post publication would
normally be less than 50 years post mortem - and so it would normally
require certification to take place within the Berne term, and against Berne
injunctions against formalities.
