Hmm, that's interesting.  IANAL, but in the U.S. I'm fairly certain that
JCA's are legal (Sun and others have been using similar forms for a long
time).  Obviously, consult a lawyer to figure out how to create one.
The idea of an automatic trust seems kind of strange to me, kind of like
an anonymous function.  In the U.S. I think you need to file paperwork
to create any kind of trust.
