In the event a governor dies, resigns or is removed from office, the lieutenant governor typically becomes governor.
Sheriff:

A Treasurer may also manage or oversee the financial affairs of the organization, often including tasks as selecting a bank, reconciling bank statements, and managing cash flow.
