Guilds often have a name and legacy which obviously cannot be transferred to a new guild that's why it is so painful for people to end up in a locked out guild because their master got a permanent ban.

If master gets a permanent ban it is like being gone forever. In real world when someone's gone and leaves something valuable there's usually someone else who inherits whatever is left.

Maybe introducing a co-master role is the solution?
If a master promotes an officer to co-master they agree that mastership will be transferred to the co-master if the master gets a permanent ban.

This would be a back up plan in case of master permanent ban.
Being offline, I agree, is not a good justification for guild mastership seizure.
