I have read that we need to create items lists (2 copies) of what we bring when we land. Is there any sample / detailed documentation available.

Do we have to write down every single details like trousers x3 , shirts x 4 or can we just write personal clothings, camera, laptops etc.

It says also to list item that we are planning to post. If we are posting to our family address (their names), do we need to mention that we are also posting items? Are there any benefits for us for listing these items?

It's called the B4 form, I believe, "goods to follow". Try looking at the CBSA website: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/menu-eng.html
The benefit is that you won't have to pay any taxes for bringing the items you declared into the country. This is the only time you can do so, with the things that you bring with yourself when landing and the things you declare when landing.
If you don't declare something and post it later, you'll have to pay taxes. That's just my understanding, I haven't landed yet myself - better check that information.
I don't think it depends on what address and/or names you use.

I also remember reading that it's advised to have printed photos of any jewelry you might be bringing.
