Is it correct or am I wrong?

The fan translation is:

> The only reason I came back to the mansion was because my father wanted me
> to. Now that father is dead and I do not have the responsibility as the
> successor until I graduate, there is no reason for me to come back to this
> mansion. Because when I graduate, I will live in this mansion for the rest
> of my life.

I am not sure about this passage:

> その父も亡くなり、父の後継者としての責務も卒業するまで代理を立てられた今、私が好き好んでこの屋敷に帰ってくる理由はない。

亡くなり refers to the father and I believe it also refer to the duties as the
heir. With 卒業 starts another different sentence. That's how I understand it.

So I would say

> その父も亡くなり、父の後継者としての責務も亡くなり, 卒業するまで代理を立てられた今、私が好き好んでこの屋敷に帰ってくる理由はない。

How to parse 後継者としての責務も卒業するまで代理を立てられた
> 父の後継者としての責務も卒業するまで代理を立てられた

It might be clearer if you rewrote/parsed it as:

> 卒業するまで、父の後継者としての責務にも代理を立てられた /  
>  父の後継者としての責務も、（卒業するまで）代理を立てられた

Which is literally like "Someone has been nominated to perform the duties as
my father's successor (in my place) until I graduate."

Hence the translation "I do not have the responsibility as the successor until
I graduate."
