What happens to eggs, sperm and embryos if a loved one dies?
============================================================

Posthumous conception is legal in the UK, but it is highly complex and needs to be dealt with carefully. There are stringent legal requirements governing the procurement, storage and use of eggs, sperm and embryos following death, especially with regards to consent.

English law expects you to have secured written, signed consent for the storage and use of eggs, sperm, and embryos after death. Ideally, you should proactively complete a series of consent forms that are available at all UK fertility clinics because consent cannot usually be obtained retrospectively after death.

Whatever stage you are at, we can provide you with specialist legal advice on posthumous conception law, giving informed consent to fertility treatment at a UK fertility clinic (including the procurement, use, consent, and storage of embryos and completion of consent forms), and preparation of a 'family proof' will.

I would like to say working with the staff at Vardags was a great support to me at a difficult time of my life but with their support and sensitivity I was able to get through the experience with less stress and ease. If anyone...  is looking for a good legal team I would recommend Vardags. They may cost a bit more but will give you good service.

Brenda Hart



Outstanding, cannot recommend this highly enough.

Mark Curtis



Vardags aren't cheap, but they are worth it.

Steve



I found myself in a position that I quite simply never dreamt I would be in in a million years. I went to Vardags, initially for advice. All my options were laid out in a very professional yet personal way. We decided to go down...  a particular route and as my situation changed , so did the route that Vardags recommended. I had never felt so vulnerable in all my life and so it was very comforting to feel supported at all times.
