I assume that most of the people that chose to be a godparent, especially those of us from S. LA, understand what the role entails and take it pretty seriously in the very unlikely event that scenario takes place.
Is there a legal obligation, no. But I'm sure most everyone is willing to accept the moral obligation.

Correct, Rummy

Well in that case, it should be said that becoming the godparent of one child means you should be ready to become the guardian for that child and all his/her siblings.
That fine print will get you.

I miss my Paran (passed away 13 years ago at 50). Didn't get to see him alot but every morning my brother and I drove to high school, he would be sitting on the steps of his house drinking coffee and he would give me the middle finger salute every morning

It isn't a real expectation. I have plenty of Catholic friends and family members. Often enough they haven't even seen the godparents in years. They just get a card on their birthday if they are lucky.
It's like bridesmaids and groomsmen. You choose whoever you are close with at the time for the role and maybe some close family, and often enough you grow apart over time if you didn't pick a close family member. Nobody is giving their kid to Bob who used to grab beers with you when you were 25, and you haven't seen in years who doesn't really know your kids. The kids are going to a grandparent if they are still alive or an aunt or uncle.
I've never met anyone who took that responsibility seriously. Not in modern times.
