will appointing a testamentary guardian for a child/children


Explanation:
Per Gyldendals Røde Ordboger, and I concur in that. See examples at the link for "testamentary guardian".

On the basis of the following from Hans's link, I now agree with Sven:

"Rent juridisk stilles der ingen krav om, at en sådan erklæring - der noget misvisende kaldes for et børnetestamente - skal oprettes på en bestemt måde. I kan derfor nedskrive jeres tilkendegivelse på et stykke ganske almindeligt papir, som I daterer og underskriver. Derefter er dokumentet gyldigt, og børnetestamentet bør opbevares et sted, hvor det efter al sandsynlighed bliver fundet i tilfælde af jeres død, fx sammen med jeres bankbøger og andre private papirer."

In other words, the formalities of a will need not be observed, if this source is correct. It would most likely be wrong to refer to this declaration as a will, under these circumstances.

disagree  Sven Petersson: Not "appointing", please see https://www.retsinformation.dk/forms/r0710.aspx?id=32014

  -> "Appointment" is the standard English term, in both the U.K. and the U.S., whether it's done by the testator's will or another means. "Declaration" is an alternative that is sometimes used. The source plainly refers to a will, not a declaration generally.
neutral  Hans Wang: Is is a simple declaration designating a guardian - it is not an entire will. See: http://www.familieadvokaten.dk/emner/445.html
