Hypothetical Regarding Pardons in the Event Trump Dies

So I've been mulling this over. Should Trump lose the election - as I strongly believe he will - I predict he will issue pardons for himself along with all of his family and friends. What happens though if he should be incapacitated or die between now and January 20. I don't see Pence issuing pardons for any Trumps. He's too ambitious for that and these pardons have very little upside for him. President Perv's children and enablers are worried for a reason.
