Pre-conception agreements
Pre-conception agreements are legal arrangements made before conception, often between future parents, outlining responsibilities, rights, and expectations regarding the child's upbringing, especially if conception occurs through fertility treatments or surrogacy. These agreements clarify decision-making, parental roles, and financial responsibilities to prevent misunderstandings later. They provide legal clarity and peace of mind, ensuring all parties agree on important issues prior to conception. Such agreements can support structured planning for family-building and help address complex situations in advance.
