Reading between the lines, are you planning on writing any of these kind of things yourself, and want to make sure they will really work and will function the way you want them to and not in some unexpected way?   Is that your question?

I think you would be best served by letting a lawyer do this for you.   Your question itself, brief as it is, reveals such a profound lack of knowledge about such matters that I'm afraid you would be very likely to make some major mistake in planning, preparing or filing your papers and then you would have no one to blame but yourself.   At least if a lawyer screws it up for you, you can go after his malpractice insurance.  Good luck,
