The Surrogacy Space, Ep. 35: Estate Planning & Family Building: A Deep Dive with Attorney Nick Klingenberg

In this episode of The Surrogacy Space, host Marla Neufeld sits down with Nick Klingenberg, a seasoned Wills, Trusts & Estates attorney at Greenspoon Marder with nearly a decade of experience advising high‑net‑worth families across New York and California. With deep professional expertise and a meaningful personal journey into family building, Nick brings a uniquely well‑rounded perspective to this conversation.

Together, Marla and Nick explore the critical role of estate planning for intended parents, why it matters long before a child arrives, and how surrogacy adds unique legal considerations that many families overlook.

Nick also shares his background and what drew him to estate planning, including how practicing on both coasts shapes his client advice; his personal path toward parenthood, specifically his experience considering surrogacy and ultimately adopting his daughter; essential estate planning must‑haves for intended parents; and important state‑specific issues in New York and California.

Whether you’re an intended parent, a professional in the surrogacy field, or someone exploring future family‑building options, this is an episode filled with expert insights, heartfelt storytelling, and practical steps to protect the family you’re creating.
