Introduction
The legal framework for assisted reproduction works in your favor
Assisted reproduction procedures, in vitro fertilization, egg donation, sperm donation, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis involve a legal dimension that often goes unnoticed until a problem arises. At Intraius, we support our clients from the pre-treatment phase, advising them on their rights and obligations, the applicable regulations, and the legal implications of each decision.
Our team combines strong legal knowledge with a deep understanding of the medical and clinical environment, enabling us to act effectively in any situation, including medical negligence in assisted reproduction.
Pre-treatment counseling
Analysis of the applicable legal framework, review of contracts and informed consents, and guidance on patient rights.
Support during the process
Ongoing legal assistance, supervision of the legal aspects of the procedure, and communication with medical centers.
Medical negligence in assisted reproduction
Analysis of the facts, assessment of legal damages, and defense of patient rights before medical or institutional authorities. We act both in extrajudicial and judicial proceedings.
Documentation and affiliation
Advice on parentage procedures, registration and management of legal documentation derived from the process.
ROPA Method: Shared Motherhood
An option for both to participate in the reproductive process
The ROPA method (Reception of Oocytes from the Partner) is an assisted reproduction technique that allows two women to actively share the motherhood process: one of them provides the eggs, which are fertilized by in vitro fertilization with donor sperm, and the other receives the embryo and carries out the pregnancy.
In addition to the medical aspects, the ROPA method raises important legal issues related to consent, parentage, and birth registration.
In Spain, legislation recognizes women's access to assisted reproduction techniques regardless of their marital status and sexual orientation, and provides legal mechanisms to determine parentage with respect to both women.
Legal advice for couples using the ROPA method
At Intraius we advise female couples who wish to use this technique, especially regarding consent, necessary documentation and legal recognition of parentage.
We can also advise couples who reside outside of Spain and come to our country to undergo assisted reproduction treatments, accompanying them in the legal issues that may arise during the process.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is surrogacy legal in Spain?
In Spain, surrogacy contracts are null and void. However, it is possible to carry out the process in countries where it is legal and subsequently register the child following the legal procedures established by the Supreme Court and the Directorate General for Legal Security.
How do you register a baby in Spain?
Registration is usually done through the recognition of a foreign court judgment (exequatur) or through the determination of parentage by the biological father and the subsequent adoption by the spouse.
How long does the legal process take?
The entire process typically takes between 12 and 24 months. The legal registration phase after birth is usually completed in a few weeks or months, depending on the country of origin and the relevant consulate.
Which countries are safe for these processes?
Countries such as the United States, Canada, and certain European destinations offer solid legal frameworks that guarantee legal security for both the intended parents and the child and the surrogate mother.
What is the difference between an agency and legal advice?
While agencies handle logistics and intermediaries, legal counsel is responsible for protecting your rights, validating the legality of each step, and ensuring that parentage is seamlessly recognized in your country of origin.
What guarantees does Intraius offer?
We offer a prior legal audit of each destination and clinic, support in signing contracts and comprehensive management of documentation to guarantee maximum legal security in your family project.
