Currently, if a war is suddenly ended due to a ruler dying, the war is transferred to the new ruler and hostilities continued. The problem lies in the fact that duchies, counties, etc. that were hostile in the previous war can become neutral, revoking any occupied forts you may have taken before the war transferred.
This issue can cause any armies that you currently have positioned in these lands to become stranded if the territory rejoins the war; any forts you occupied no longer belong to you causing you to take attrition upon making any movements. If placed in a situation where any army is already movement locked, this can cause attrition losses that would not have otherwise occurred. Worse yet, if a retreat needs to be made from the frontlines you will take massive attrition losses that, again, would not have otherwise occurred just a few days prior.
I believe a solution to this can be rather easily implemented in the form of an occupation check; if a fort comes under occupation, a status check is added for the duration of a war that is not removed until the war concludes or it is reoccupied by friendly forces. If a county that then became neutral due to succession rejoins the war, the forts are still considered occupied by the enemy but remain unoccupied so long as the territory remains neutral.
