Surrogacy Contracts
Surrogacy contracts are generally subject to a high degree of negotiation. There is no “stock” or “typical” surrogacy.. Parties to a surrogacy contract should absolutely each have independent legal counsel. There are a number of issues that are variable in each surrogacy contract, such as: The amount to be paid for living expenses; Increases in living expenses for multiples; Other payments to be made for circumstances such as a C-section or D&C; What fees and costs will be reimbursed by the Intended Parents; Whether there will be selective reduction; How much life insurance will be carried by the Surrogate, and what the life insurance is intended to cover; Under what circumstances the contract can be terminated; How escrowed funds will be managed.
Provider Negotiation
If needed, we contact providers for counseling and mediation services. We
also contact hospital administration and doctors to ensure that the delivery
experience goes smoothly and everyone understands who makes decisions
regarding the child, and who is entitled to information regarding the child.
We can also prepare medical powers of attorney and medical releases that may
be necessary.
