If you look at Havens of the Great Bay, a similar problem has already
cropped up for the King of Grabentod. I suggest that the heir would now the
regent is still alive since the regency had not become his or possibly
dead by tighmeavril. However, an extended absence (and thus a crippled
domain) might convince a strong leader to take over (invest) the domain holding
by holding. This can be done with each holding taking one month to
invest. The heir could even claim that the regent was killed by a bloodsilver
weapon and that he must now systematically take over the domain the hard
way in order to "save" it!
Of course a lot of this must depend on how you view regency points in
your campaign.
