We still don't know if the Wizard's powers get past on to someone upon the Wizard's death because we don't know if Ozpin is the Wizard. It seems they've had Ozpin's thing planned since even before they came up with the Maidens, which Monty came up with the Maidens after they finished production on volume 2.

So, unless they decided to tie the Maidens thing into Ozpin's stuff, Ozpin could be something entirely different and separate from the Wizard, like how Ruby is a Silver-Eyed Warrior, which is entirely separate from the Maidens.
