Estate Planning & IVF / Surrogacy / Genetic Material / Assisted Reproductive Technology

Read Now
 

From personal experience with Assisted Reproductive Technology ("ART”), I know that estate planning for frozen genetic material is a factor that is frequently not considered by many estate planners.  Genetic material is absolutely priceless, and should be treated with a particular respect and sensitivity.
 
These “assets” should make up an important part of your estate plan.  I put the phrase “asset” in quotation marks because I have trouble with the use of this phrase within this context; however, under the law genetic materials are considered assets “entitled to special respect as a result of their potential for life.”
 
Genetic material that should be considered in your estate planning include, for example:
- Frozen sperm
- Frozen eggs
- Frozen embryos
- Frozen cord blood
 
Anyone with frozen genetic material should thoughtfully consider the options of the disposition of these assets when drafting an estate plan.  Please contact me for a complimentary consultation to discuss your options.
