Believe it or not there are lawyers who deal with this type of situation.
Expect to pay a bit more because it is not the standard form type will. If
your lawyer doesn't "understand" find another one. Also make provisions for
any one who challenges the will. That has happened. I have a will that is
similar to what you are describing. However, my brother is the
administrator and that has to change for the benefit of the critters. Hold
out for what you want and don't be put off.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Subject: Off Topic - wills and trusts
Sorry if this is a bit off topic but would greatly appreciate any advice
folks have to offer. We are meeting with our attorney tomorrow to draw up
wills (long overdue) and are stumped as to how to provide for our four
legged family members in the event we both pass at the same time. We
really don't have friends or family that truly comprehend what we mean
when we say they are family members - we have no lower expectations for
their care and well being than we do our own - and we want to be sure that
continues when we pass. We don't want to have our assets tied to our kids
(I.E. a portion of our estate goes to so-and-so for the care of our
ids - how do we know they won't just spend the money and then, if
there's a medical emergency, euthanise them because it costs too much to
provide care?) The thought of our family not being properly cared for is
very unnerving. Thank you for taking the time to read and any suggestions
are greatly appreciated ~ Evan & Dee
