It's generally known that Wikipedia Administratorship is a lifetime appointment. Actually, there are rare circumstances when Admins may be impeached -- four, to be precise. An admin is subject to removal if s/he:

However, assuming good behavior -- that is, none of the above -- admins may assume that their adminship will not expire before they do. In that case, the adminship will be passed on to their immediate heir, that is, the oldest child, defined by the usual rules of primogeniture.

Inheriting admins style themselves with first name, number in line of succession, and admin line name (name of the originating admin). Thus, for example: Argleb, Third Admin of Herostratus, and so forth.

In the event of a disputed succession, the contesting parties are advised to cross the Channel and raise an army of horsemen.
