As far as who would run the family upon Michael's death goes, I think Michael figured by the time he passed on that the family would be completely legitimate, and aside from lawyers and executives to look after the family business interests, there would be no need for anyone to run the family in the way that you're thinking.
Probably a top executive along the lines of someone who was capable of heading a company like General Motors or U.S. Steel would have done the trick.
Yes, Mike tries to retire and to legitimize his (real) family. But I think that the structure of all 5 Families should not break because the 5 families always will exist. So I suppose that the " criminal part " of the Corleone family is transfered and directed by other persons, like for example Zasa.
