What is the legal or official term to describe what someone is doing when they “ghost write” for another?

John S. asked:
Person A writes a document from the point of view of Person B who reviews it, approves it, and signs it as if they originated the document themselves and this is their testimony.

In literary circles, that is “ghost writing” for someone. But in legal or business circles, is there a word for it (perhaps in Latin?) that is less colloquial or vernacular-oriented than “ghost writing” which brings to mind novels and scripts versus legal or business documents.
