Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Custody of Cildren and Wills

Hello, I have decided that i need to make a will but had a question that i cannot find the answer to. I have two boys and i have full physical custody of them. My ex-husband and i have 50/50 Legal custody. My question is this. With his dangerous job and other factors, can i legaly give physical custody of my children to someone else in the event of my death? He would still have all his same visitation rights etc. Please help!
