Does anyone know if and of the successor states has any equivalent to the hereditary offices? (Marshall,Steward, etc.)

I assume you mean the Holy Roman Empire. But to which successor states do you refer? The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg are technically successor states to the HRE and all have Royal Courts. But the post-1918 successor states, all republics, are unlikely to retain Court appointments. It is conceivable however that some Imperial Court appointments were hereditary and that a few noble families maintain the titles although the Court itself has long been abolished.
