The kids are not alright

I am trying to do some estate planning for my sister. Her lawyer tells me her will cannot be finalized without naming a guardian. There in lies the problem...

After suddenly losing her husband, my sister is left caring for a 12 and 15 year old. The New Jersey lawyer says:. " I spoke with the Surrogate and the executor cannot appoint a guardian. Someone needs to be named in the Will. That person can always renounce being appointed and designate someone else or allow DYFS to take the kids. We also cannot name DYFS as a guardian in the Will."
There is no body on the husbands side living and sister does not have any close friends. I am the only possible option – and it would cost me greatly (bye bye wife-y). I've made the decision, I don't want/can't to do it nor do I want to re-visit the decision again at a later date... other than naming Joseph Biden, do I have options?
