This sounds interesting but not possible to write.  Remember the government
has laws against peretual trusts.  They don't want money tied up forever
where they can't get taxes.

How could an individual leaving money to himself when he gets unfrozen write
it so that higher laws apply.  A person is not Jesus?
If a person claims to be, he would be attacked even faster by the government.

A trust (as you know) is sometimes attacked by relatives or the government.
It has to pass standards.  Most trusts are not public so the money can get
passed on the someone else before others (who might challange it) even know
what has happened.

But a trust leaving money to a helpless person laying frozen for 100 or more
years is going to be vunerable.

Do you know any lawyers who have written one?

Do you know any methods in a more conventional way?
