A judgment of divorce or judicial declaration of nullity of a marriage between the intended parents, entered before in utero embryo transfer, terminates the gestational carrier contract. Upon the filing of a motion notifying the court of the judgment of divorce or declaration of nullity, the court shall issue an order vacating the Order Preceding Embryo Transfer. If an intended parent dies before in utero embryo transfer, the deceased individual is not a parent of the resulting child unless the child was born within three years of the death of the decedent and the deceased agreed in writing that if the in utero embryo transfer were to occur after death, the deceased individual would be a parent of the child and that the child would have all rights, including the capacity to inherit from the decedent.
