Surrogacy and Fertility Agreements
Advice on surrogacy, fertility arrangements and legal parenthood from Sanders Witherspoon solicitors in Billericay, Essex.
About Surrogacy and Fertility Agreements
Surrogacy and assisted conception require careful planning about consent and legal parenthood. A UK surrogacy agreement is not legally enforceable, and intended parents may need a parental order or another legal route after birth. Overseas arrangements can introduce additional parenthood, nationality and immigration questions.
Key Points
- Obtain advice before entering an arrangement or starting treatment.
- Keep clinic consent forms and records of the proposed arrangement.
- Plan for the legal steps required after the child is born.
How We Can Help
We help identify the family-law questions and explain the documents and court process relevant to your plans. Where an arrangement raises specialist issues outside that scope, we highlight the need for appropriate additional advice rather than treating one agreement as a complete solution.
