The game decides this and it is out of your control (unless you have a lot of Crown Authority to make changes whilst you are still alive), however note that the oldest child will generally get the biggest portion of the kingdom, so you may want to continue as that child.

Also, if you own too many holdings, you will get negatively impacted through less taxes and popularity. To avoid this, you can grant titles to other characters. This way, you will still benefit from the taxes and the land, and your popularity will remain in tact.
