Wouldn't Jon's declaration of a successor be moot once Bran and Rickon turn up, alive? He's only naming a successor because he thinks his brothers are dead. If they turn up alive, they would take precedence in succession. As would Sansa if she ever gets out alive.

Then again, I think by the end of the books, Bran will be a tree.

It wouldn't be unheard of though if enough things happen to the Starks that the succession falls to Jon. See Aemon Targaryen's situation.

Jon would have precedence since he is older. Catelyn warns Robb about this before he tells his bannermen of the decision

Not if Jon is legitimized.

It is never stated in the books where a legitimized bastard falls in the line of succession. However judging from Catelyns reaction one could assume that he becomes just like the other sons which means he would rank above bran rickon Sansa and arya
