Legal route

Questions for your first conversation

Use the attorney profile to identify jurisdiction, representation, contract, parentage, and delivery-document questions that require qualified counsel review.

1. 01Independent representation

   Confirm who can be represented, whether separate counsel is needed, and how New York law affects the route.

2. 02Contract drafting

   Ask how agreement timing lines up with clinic clearance, escrow funding, reimbursements, and medical milestones.

3. 03Parentage order

   Confirm pre-birth or post-birth order timing, court expectations, and any family-structure considerations.

4. 04Birth documentation

   Review hospital, birth-record, travel, and post-birth document needs before delivery planning.

Patriot can help organize the agency, clinic, escrow, and document questions that should be ready before counsel review.
