Surrogacy in South Africa is a carefully regulated, deeply personal process, and having the right attorney makes all the difference. At MLT Attorneys, we have walked this road with many families, and we approach every matter with the care, empathy and expertise it deserves.
Surrogacy is governed by Chapter 19 of the Children's Act 38 of 2005, and every agreement must be confirmed by the High Court before conception. We handle that process from start to finish.
We guide you from first consultation to the confirmation of the court order, working alongside fertility clinics and counsellors.
We ensure your rights are fully protected and that you have independent legal representation throughout the process.
We prepare and file the application and represent you at the confirmation hearing, before the pregnancy begins.
As a small firm, we offer something larger practices cannot: direct, personal attention from the attorney handling your matter, from first consultation to final resolution.
