Professor Kris Knaplund, "Are Assisted Reproduction Children Included in Your Dynasty Trust?" -- Los Angeles Daily Journal

Professor Kristine S. Knaplund's article, "Are Assisted Reproduction Children Included in Your Dynasty Trust?" has been published in the Los Angeles Daily Journal. The article examines new questions courts must decide about who is included in a trust as the settlor's issue.

Excerpt from "Are Assisted Reproduction Children Included in Your Dynasty Trust?"

With thousands of children born each year using assisted insemination, in vitro fertilization, gestational carriers, many more courts may soon be asked to decide this question, and drafters of trusts need to speak with their clients about their wishes in defining class terms such as "grandchildren."
