==Succession==
==Succession==
Since 2015, the grand ducal title passes by right of {{wp|order of succession|succession}} to the heirs of [[Neill, Grand Duke in Lucrecia]], with the heirs of [[Maria-Adelaida, Grand Duchess in Lucrecia]] holding precedence for as long as there exists living heirs. Should the Marian line be extinguished, then the grand ducal title will be passed to the heirs of [[Miguel-Neill de Velucia]], the remaining members of the direct [[House de Weluta|Weluta]] line in Lucrecia. The mechanism used to determine the heir to the grand ducal title is {{wp|agnatic-cognatic primogeniture}}. Lucrecia had established agnatic-cognatic primogeniture instead of strictly agnatic primogeniture in 1883 when [[Neill III, Grand Duke in Lucrecia|Neill III]] wished for his young daughter Maria-Adelaida to become Grand Duchess instead of his brother Miguel-Neill. {{wp|Legitimacy (family law)|Illegitimate heirs}} and products of a {{wp|morganatic marriage}} are barred from the line of succession unless approved.

In the event that the previous Grand Duke passes away while his wife is pregnant with his heir, then that heir becomes the Grand Duke immediately with the mother serving as regent. Regardless, in the event that the Grand Duke is a minor, then a regency shall be appointed for as long as needed until the Grand Duke comes of age or is declared as such beforehand. The regent may be the Grand Duke's surviving parent, a relative (regardless of legitimacy or morganatic status), or even a state official.

There does exist some special cases put in place which may exclude otherwise perfectly legitimate heirs from the line of succession, those being if an heir marries without the permission of the Grand Duke, which will also make it a morganatic marriage by default, or if an heir is deemed to be either undesirable or simply unfit for the title of Grand Duke may be removed from the line of succession by the [[Senatorial House]]. The latter clause has only ever been used once in 1947 when [[Prince Juan-Carlos in Lucrecia]] sided with an attempted fascist coup against his first cousin Maria-Adelaida when she was bestowed dictatorial powers and used them to purge the Lucrecian government of the [[National Fascist Party]].

Although each and every grand duke and grand duchess have seen themselves as members of the [[House de Weluta]], since the death of Grand Duchess [[Maria-Adelaida, Grand Duchess in Lucrecia|Maria-Adelaida]] in 1967, each subsequent grand dukes and grand duchesses have been a member of a cadet branch of the Welutas. Each new cadet branch added on the surname of the male consort after the other surnames. However, there still exists mainline Welutas in Lucrecia, those being the direct male-line descendants of [[Prince Miguel-Neill in Lucrecia]], of which the senior-most heir is [[Prince Juan-Alfonso in Lucrecia]] since 2003. These "[[Miguelism|Miguelists]]" are, since 2015, legally recognised as the senior-most line should the regnant Marian line of succession be extinguished.
