Generally speaking, when John Doe, Jr. is given his name, it stays with him. He can change it later, but if he doesn't, he keeps that name. If his father (his namesake - the person after whom he was named) dies, John Doe, Jr.'s name remains the same. He is still his father's son, or, if you like, his namesake's son.

When Senior passes away does Junior become Senior?
Yes, when Senior dies, Junior can take the suffix of Senior if there is another of the same name (a son of Junior, for example) to take the Junior suffix. Otherwise Junior can simply drop the suffix altogether, or continue to use Junior if his professional identity, for example, is strongly tied to that naming convention.
As a matter of law does Jr continue after Sr dies?
The law does not address whether someone called Junior must continue to do so after the one called Senior dies. This is a matter of custom. As a matter of custom, it is widely accepted that continuing or not is up to the person who had been called Junior and who has not outlived his father or uncle, who ad been called Senior.
What comes after senior and junior in a family lineage?
Nothing comes after Junior when Senior and Junior are used in naming members of one family. The use of Second (II), Third (III), Fourth (IV), etc., is a completely different system. Joe, Sr., could be Joe I, Joe V, or Joe VIII or whatever number is appropriate. Junior and Senior are used only to distinguish between two living people. When Joe, Sr. dies, Joe, Jr. can become simply, Joe. Similarly if young Joe, Jr., dies, Joe, Sr. can become simply Joe.
When senior father dies does junior son become senior Even in legal documents?
No. Jim Jones, Jr., can stop using the "Jr.," if he wants, once Jim Jones, Sr., dies. He only becomes "Sr" if he has a son whom he names Jim Jones and who in turn uses the "Jr." suffix.
When senior father dies does junior son become senior?
AnswerNo, because if you were talking about the deceased person, you may get confused, just the way you would if you were alive. I think when they get the junior or senior added to their name, it's permanent, except it's not written on their birth certificate.
A man named after the junior is?
Junior and Senior are temporary designations intended to distinguish the younger from the older person with the same name in a family or small group. There is no third designation. When the Senior dies, the Junior can drop that designation, or can become Senior if a new person enters the group who also carries that name - and is then the Junior. Calling someone the First, the Second, the Third, etc. is a separate system in which the numbers are permanent. Suppose you have John I and his son, John II. If John II has a son named John, he is John III. And the same for John IV, John V, John VI, and so on. Now, suppose John I and John II have died. John III is a middle-aged man with a son who is John IV. John III could also be called John, Sr., and his son John, Jr. But when John Sr., dies, John IV (Jr) becomes John, Sr., and his son can become John, Jr. This is why families that have a long tradition of naming children the same more often use the numbering system exclusively and do not bother with Junior and Senior designations.
What is after a junior?
The classes in a 4-year high school or college are designated: * Freshman (1st year) * Sophomore * Junior * Senior (4th year) In identifying people in one family with identical names, the term "Junior" is used for the younger of the two and "Senior" is used for the older of the two. When the older one dies, the younger may assume the suffix, "Senior," if there is a yet younger member of the family with the same name, or may simply drop the "Junior" suffix. (For example, several years after the death of his father, Sammy Davis, Jr., began to be billed simply as Sammy Davis.) If there are three or more people alive in one family with the same name at the same time, the Junior and Senior suffixes are not adequate, and there is no third term in this system. Then only the numbering system will serve. (That is, John Smith II, John Smith III, John Smith IV, etc.) In this system the suffix number continues to apply to the person even after death.

If Sr dies who is Jr and the III?
Since the use of "Jr." and "Sr." is usually to help distinguish between a father and son, both of whom are still living, the son can drop the "Jr." after the father dies, if he likes, or he can keep it. For example, Sammy Davis, Jr., kept the "Junior" for several years after his father died, but eventually used just "Sammy Davis" as his legal and professional name. The designation can also change with time and circumstance. Suppose Jim Johnson has a son whom he names Jim Johnson. The father might be, for example, Jim Johnson II or Jim Johnson, Sr., and the son would be Jim Johnson, III, but could also be called Jim Johnson, Jr. After Jim Johnson II dies, his son can call himself just Jim Johnson or can continue to call himslef Jim Johnson, Jr., but in either case he will always be Jim Johnson III. To further complicate matters, if there is a grandson named Jim Johnson, he will be Jim Johnson IV. When the grandfather dies, Jim Johnson III can call himself Jim Johnson, Sr., if he likes, and the grandson can be called Jim Johnson, Jr. It is largely a matter of person preference and what the family will tollerate.
