In the context of "A Christmas Carol" and specifically in relation to Marley’s Ghost, the term "succeeded" most clearly means "follow." In this instance, it refers to the idea of being the next in line or taking up a role or condition that someone else had. If you are looking at a context where it discusses the legacy or influence of Marley and how it continues, "follow" would fit best as it implies succession in a more natural or inherited manner.
