I want to register a domain name for 10yrs, but I'm concerned that my registration company, godaddy.com, won't be around that long. If the registrar, godaddy.com, closes, then I want to have access to my DNS records all the same.

As written it could be taken that you would be acting as the registration company and the person registering dies.
In the way you meant it the best way for you to handle it is to have remedies inserted into the contract you enter into with the registrar. A company "dying" is not unlike a person in that claims can be made on the assets (domain registrations are assets) by debtors. If you have a contract that spells out that upon dissolution of the company the domain goes to you, the debtors will have a more difficult time making a claim on it. The contract along with other document(s) verifying that the events spelled out in the contract have taken place will allow you to take control of the domain.
