N.Y. Family Court Act § 581-307: Effect of death of intended parent

§ 581-307. Effect of death of intended parent. If an individual who

consented in a record to be a parent by assisted reproduction dies

before the transfer of eggs, sperm, or embryos, the deceased individual

is not a parent of the resulting child unless the deceased individual

consented in a signed record that if assisted reproduction were to occur

after death, the deceased individual would be a parent of the child,

provided that the record complies with the estates, powers and trusts

law. Any rights of the child born after the death of an intended parent

may be enforced by a government agency authorized by law, including but

not limited to a department of social services.
