Building a family through assisted reproduction involves deeply personal decisions—and complex legal considerations. Assisted reproductive law provides the legal framework that protects intended parents, donors, surrogates, and, most importantly, the children created through these methods. At Tate Healey Webster, we help families move forward with confidence, protecting their intentions at every step.
What Is Assisted Reproductive Law?
Assisted reproductive law, often referred to as ART, addresses the legal aspects of family formation through medical and reproductive technology. It includes determining legal parentage, drafting and reviewing agreements, and ensuring compliance with Florida statutes governing assisted reproduction. The law applies to a wide range of situations, including surrogacy, egg and sperm donation, embryo donation, and other fertility-related arrangements.
Because assisted reproductive technology continues to evolve, the legal landscape can be complex. Florida law imposes specific requirements for enforceable agreements and legal recognition of intended parents. Proper legal guidance helps ensure these requirements are met before treatment or placement occurs.
