Ambiguity with two possessive pronouns in a sentence

Is it clear who the first and second "their" refer to in the following sentence, or is the sentence likely to confuse the reader --



"It has been decided between the parties that party number 1 will have permanent custody of their son xxx and daughter yyy and will be their legal guardian"



If there is ambiguity can it be better written?
