What happens to my embryos and my money if we divorce or one of us dies during the journey?
The short answer
Your gestational carrier agreement and your clinic's embryo disposition consent both address this, and your attorney will walk you through the options before signing. Escrow funds are governed by the escrow agreement, not by the agency. Raise this at your first legal consultation; it is standard, not morbid.
