If you're still alive and want to donate say a kidney or part of your liver, you just tell your/their doctor; they will know what legal forms you need to sign.

I don't think it's possible to make a specific organ bequest on your death, but it might be. Consult a lawyer.

Why are there not enough transplants for the number of people needing transplants?

This is most likely because of the special porcess to match up organs. Also, it has to do with the age people die. You can't donate a senior's organs. Also, the type of death has an influence. If someone dies of cancer, it's unsafe to donate organs. If someone is in a good health and died in a car accident/etc. then their organs might be suitable. The family has to agree on it too.

Kidney's are usually transplanted from a family member who is a match as you only need one. Other organs such as lungs and heart are transplanted from a recently deceased person who had opted to donate their organs at the time of their death, they are then removed from the donor and taken to the receipient who is in most need of the particular organ who is most likely to be a match. (blood type etc. is taken into consideration)
