If the Prime Minister dies, the governing party selects a replacement. In some countries this person must then be approved by a monarch or president.
The duties of the Deputy Prime Minister are to act on behalf of the Prime Minister in his or her absence overseas or on leave. The Deputy Prime Minister has always been a member of the Cabinet and has always held at least one substantive portfolio. (It would be technically possible for a minister to hold only the portfolio of Deputy Prime Minister, but this has never happened.) If the Prime Minister were to die, become incapacitated or resign, the Governor- General would normally appoint the Deputy Prime Minister as Prime Minister. If the governing or majority party had not yet elected a new leader, that appointment would be on an interim basis. Should a different leader emerge, that person would then be appointed Prime Minister.
"The deputy Prime Minister immediately takes on the duties of the PM until the monarch invites someone to be the new Prime Minister."This is incorrect if you are referring to the UK office of the Prime Minister. The Deputy Prime Minister is an honorary post which carries no responsibilities or right of succession. If the British Prime Minister died in office or was otherwise removed, the majority party would have to elect a new leader and then present him or her for approval to the Monarch.

It is unlikely that Nick Clegg will win enough seats in the House of Commons to maintain an overall majority (or to rule as a minority party) as the House of Commons is largely dominated by the Conservative party and Labour party.Despite being Deputy Prime Minister under the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition, if the Prime Minister was to resign or die in office, another senior Conservative would be elected leader, meaning Clegg would only be Prime Minister for a short period in the interim.
