When I left my last position, which was a leadership position in the US, because I was moving cross-country (with lol no plan), I actually gave a year notice to my direct boss and 6 months notice to the head of the company.
That gave us time to find new leadership, be a part of the hiring and training process, and do my darnedest to tie up any loose ends I had left. The last 3 months I was effectively "emeritus" status, which both let me do some blue-sky research, take care of overflow, and overall be grease for the wheels as my replacement (quickly, because he was more experienced than i was) ramped up.
If you're moderately senior, I'd always suggest being as open and honest about what you're planning with your managers! Getting blindsided by losing even a great front-line worker really showed me the value of communicating upward with your direct managers -- we'll (almost) always fight for the best thing for you!
