Estate Planning Modern Considerations: Integrating LGBTQ+ and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Issues into Estate Planning

To register for the upcoming live webinar, please check back later.

Estate planning for LGBTQ+ clients and families formed through assisted reproductive technology requires attorneys to think beyond traditional assumptions about marriage, parentage, property, fiduciary authority, and inheritance.

This program will explore practical planning issues involving wills, trusts, powers of attorney, HIPAA releases, healthcare advocacy, guardianship concerns, cryopreserved genetic material, pre-embryo disputes, and posthumous children. Attendees will learn to identify estate planning risks unique to LGBTQ+ clients and ART-created families; draft documents that protect intended spouses, partners, children, agents, and beneficiaries; evaluate how fertility clinic consents and estate planning documents may conflict; and anticipate future disputes over genetic material, inheritance rights, and fiduciary decision-making.
