Currently, if the claimant in a de jure claim war dies, the war ends inconclusively - even if the new holder of the title covering the contested province is also a vassal of the person who declared the war in the first place.

Given how long it takes to assemble a meaningful army as the game progresses, and the (justified in the context of the overall game mechanics, even if I don't like it) rule that you can't declare war if you already have levies raised, this seems unreasonable.

"Hi! That war you were fighting on behalf of one of your dukes? It's over, because he croaked. Yes, even though his son is just as much your vassal as he was. You have to march your levies back to friendly territory (because otherwise you're going to be throwing away thousands of men), disband them, re-declare your war on behalf of the heir to the old Duke, re-raise your levies, and march back to wherever you were fighting in the first place."

Which is no joke when the province being contested is Aaninen.

This is old thing and was said many times and it's still with us ;) very silly thing - this is even annoying and irritating since very illogical and must be corrected in my view ASAP.

As you said if its minor conflict - fine no worries but if its death or life situation or grand campaign - this might ruined every thing for you. Had this situation a few times, had to use cheats to compensate.
