How do succeeding presidents of the church receive sealing keys when the previous president dies?
All members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles hold the same keys as the president of the Church. The president of the Church is the only one who has authority to exercise all of them. When he dies the next president is picked from the remaining members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Traditionally, successors had been serving as president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
