The expectation of successor seems to be Maduro:
"...Kevin Middlebrook, professor of Latin American politics at the Institute of the Americas, University College London, says the most likely outcome in the event of Mr Chavez's death is that Mr Maduro (pictured, right) will succeed him.
"Maduro has Chavez's strong endorsement and he is Venezuela's elected vice-president. In a moment of national grief and sympathy following Chavez's death, it is likely that he would succeed," he told Channel 4 News.
Dr Arnson believes loyalty to Mr Chavez would boost Mr Maduro in any elections. "The loyal following he (Chavez) has, and the fact that he has publically annointed Nicolas Maduro as his successor, sets Maduro up to carry forward the mantle of Chavismo forward," she said.
"It is a very powerful endorsement from a man with a religious following in the country."..."

Of course this doesn't rule out a coup (staged by the U.S. ... again... or purely internal), either. If Chavez dies, it's like Wednesday on the Mickey Mouse Club... anything can happen day.
"If you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention."
