The Legacy, Innovation & Virtual Estate Planning (LIVE) Coalition unites organizations and individuals dedicated to modernizing our nation’s estate planning laws to enable secure, digital solutions.
LIVE is the first and only coalition focused on modernizing estate planning for the digital age. For too long, this work lacked a unified voice. LIVE is that voice.
The coalition connects innovators across law, technology, consumer advocacy, and financial planning who share one belief: every family deserves access to modern, secure tools to protect their legacy.
