Estate Planning

There are important inheritance and estate rights to consider and protect in drafting contracts regarding donated genetic material. Estate planning is one of the most important final steps to take in the surrogate process

The final piece of planning allows for peace of mind by securing an Estate Plan for both intended parents and the carrier and her partner to providing provide protection and care for a child conceived through Assisted Reproductive Technology.

Depending on who she represents, Patricia will work with carriers and intended parents with:

• Establishing Guardianship (in the event of incapacity of both parents);
• Establishing a Financial Power of Attorney;
• Establishing Medical / End of Life Directives as a guide for loved one during the surrogate’s pregnancy with a child conceived through Assisted Reproductive Technology;
• Establishing that a Carrier conceived through Assisted Reproductive Technology is not genetically related to Carrier and is not an heir to Carrier’s estate.
