The rules don't spell out what should happen if a Seneschal dies in office. The closest framework is for impeachment. I'd suggest following that (election for a new Seneschal to serve the remainder of the term) rather than making up something on the fly and throwing off the terms. Remember the term of the three Chancellors in KotR, Igno, Warluster and flyd? Neither of the latter got a "reset", they were merely entitled to the years remaining in Ignoramus's originial term.
