The advances in assisted human reproduction medicine have led to an ever-growing number of Saskatchewan families using invitro fertilization, egg or sperm donors, surrogates, embryo adoption, and other medical assistance to build their families. This reality has led to several estate planning issues that now need to be canvassed with clients and included in estate planning documents. Some of these issues include the client's wishes regarding the posthumous use of their stored genetic material or how 'issue' or 'dependant' is defined in our estate planning documents and the legislation.

Presenters: Sheri Woods and Leah Howie
