While godparents may play an important role in a child’s life, they don’t have any legal authority unless they’re formally appointed as testamentary guardians in a will or by a court.
If you want peace of mind that the right person will care for your children if something happens to you, the best step you can take is making a valid guardianship appointment as part of your estate plan.
