The person taking over a church should be the absolute best person for the job. Not a person who gets it because he is marginally ok for the job but whose main qualificcation is being a blood relative or a relative by marriage to the current pastor.
The harsh reality is that more times than not the succession plan is based on ego, greed, and control rather than what is best for the church.

Agreed, and many times that "son" was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has never been through nothin', thus he cannot even relate to the hurting ones in the pew.
