Parents of minor children should always have a will that names a guardian for their children. The guardianship must be approved by the court and the court will appoint the named guardian unless there are reasonable objections to that appointment.
If no guardian was named in a will a family member willing to take the responsibility can petition to be appointed the guardian.
