WASHINGTON, D.C. - April 21, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - The Legacy, Innovation & Virtual Estate Planning (LIVE) Coalition today announced that the National Law Review (NLR) has joined its growing movement to modernize the estate planning industry through technology.
With a 138-year legacy and an audience of more than 3 million monthly readers and newsletter subscribers, the NLR brings significant reach and influence to the coalition’s mission.
Fewer than one-third of Americans have an estate plan, underscoring a significant access gap and the urgent need for innovation. The LIVE Coalition is advocating for public policies that modernize estate planning through technology, making legal services more accessible, affordable, and simpler for consumers.
“The National Law Review joined the LIVE Coalition because of its commitment to advancing a more modern, accessible legal system,” said Gary Chodes, CEO of the NLR. “As the estate planning field evolves and goes digital, legal processes and governing law must keep pace. Lawmakers and government officials must be made aware that these new technologies are now taking hold. We’re excited to contribute our perspective and support initiatives that move the profession forward.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome the National Law Review,” said Kristina Howard, Executive Director of the LIVE Coalition. “Their reach and leadership amplify the urgency of modernizing legal services and will help bring more of the legal community into this effort. Their voice will be instrumental as we drive meaningful change.”
