Surrogacy Lawyer
The Role Of The Surrogacy Lawyer
Fertility law is a specialised field as it requires knowledge of both the legal world and that of the medicine, and especially the fertility, world. Choosing a surrogacy lawyer is a very big decision in the surrogacy agreement procedure as he is a vital role player and pillar of strength to the intended parents. By hiring an inexperienced lawyer, you might stand the chance of an unsuccessful surrogacy agreement.
Do not settle for the first lawyer firm you approach as they might not specialise in fertility law and won’t be familiar with the specifics of the law. A good surrogacy lawyer should be experienced and able to give you expert legal advice while taking care of the legal aspects in a professional manner.
Be sure to do your homework when deciding upon a lawyer and don’t be afraid to ask him to provide you with references of his previous surrogacy arrangements. Don’t be shy to ask your surrogacy lawyer how many successful and unsuccessful surrogacy agreements he has been involved with.
An experienced surrogacy lawyer will not only be familiar with the legal aspects of surrogacy, but will also be aware of the legal changes regarding surrogacy since the implementation of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005 in April 2010. Your surrogacy lawyer should be able to support you with finding an egg donor or surrogate mother.
Your surrogacy lawyer will take care of:
- All paperwork
- Representation in the court
- The contract between you and the surrogate mother
- Any other legal aspects associated with surrogacy
