Yeah, I had the choice to attempt suicide because he was Melancholic. But if that had failed then it might have gone worse. I probably should have done it anyway just to have the better ruler take over.
It is generally good to have a bank of gold saved up when you die so your heir has the ability win over opinions of vassals with feasts or pay for mercenaries while he gets his power base up.
