How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft an Affidavit of Ownership in North Carolina

In 2024, an individual in North Carolina sought assistance in drafting a legal document concerning the rights to their frozen embryos created during an IVF cycle with their husband. The client was unsure about the specific type of document needed but aimed to ensure that they would retain ownership and usage rights to the embryos in the event of a divorce or the partner's death. It was noted that although a prior document was signed with the fertility clinic, it may not provide adequate legal protection in court. As a result, the client received four proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $600 to $1,295, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of over a week.
