About

I am an Estate Planning Attorney & Mom of Three and I absolutely LOVE what I do. Helping families ensure that their loved ones are adequately protected is my passion, and I feel so lucky to be able to guide my clients through the process.My hope is to build long-lasting relationships and friendships with my clients and to become a trusted advisor through the many changes life brings.Originally from Houston, Texas, I graduated from Texas A&M University and moved to Colorado for law school just after graduation. I received my J.D. from The University of Denver College of Law in two and a half years and was admitted to the Colorado bar in May of 2004. In addition to being an attorney, I am also a licensed real estate broker and I love to dabble a bit in real estate in my spare time.I am the proud mom of three incredibly hilarious, smart and loving girls. Becoming a mom in 2011 made me realize that I would do anything for that little person and that her needs now came before mine. This is the same philosophy behind having a well-organized estate plan in place – it is not about you, it is about your loved ones. They will be the ones to benefit from your estate plan. Getting your affairs in order is truly an un-selfish and proactive choice you can make on behalf of your family.When I’m not helping families make choices for protecting their loved ones, I enjoy spending time outside with my family, running, yoga and a good craft beer. I look forward to helping you and your family and to becoming your lifetime trusted advisor.

We had the wonderful opportunity to work with Kim when we decided to go through Wills & Wellness for our estate planning. She clearly guided us every step of the way, so instead of facing a difficult and emotional process, we were able to smoothly transition all of our assets and finally get peace of mind. Kim is professional, kind and listened to us and our concerns. She also is excellent at explaining the details in a way that we could comfortably understand. Everyone we worked with in her office was also just as helpful and friendly. I highly recommend her and promise your best interests will be her focus.

My husband and I used Kim and her firm to set up our estate plan. We were impressed with the entire process - from the tools they give you to compile the information they needed to the estate plan package itself. A great experience - we would highly recommend Kim and her team.

Kimberly and her team completed my Trust this summer. Beyond the standard lawyer work that I expected, I felt like my specific concerns and priorities were given honest and devoted attention. Kimberly both addressed my priorities, and then gave me new things to consider and plan for beyond those base concerns. She eased all of my questions with answers and action items, and overall, she made this generally uncomfortable process of Estate Planning warm and fulfilling.

My wife and I worked with Kim to develop a comprehensive estate plan for our family. Kim takes the fear and awkwardness out of estate planning. She makes difficult concepts easy to understand and has a very efficient process. She is upfront and transparent about her fees and didn't try to sell us things we didn't need. We would highly recommend Kim for any estate planning need.

Loved working with Kim and her team. They helped me get "my backpack" in order. Now no matter what happens to me, I know all of my wishes will be carried out according to plan.

Kim Ruddell was very thorough in preparing our Trust Fund. She answered all our questions in a timely manner and continues to do so. We now feel confident that we have our affairs in order and that our heirs will be provided for as we wished. We strongly recommend Kim and her expertise.

Kim and her staff were amazing! The entire process was pleasant even for my in-laws. Wills and Wellness' educational session (at the beginning) answered so many of our questions and set our minds at ease. Kim was so patient in answering even the silliest questions that it made the whole process painless. Very thankful and happy, indeed!

I was referred to "Wills and Wellness' by my wealth manager with the highest recommendation. He felt Kim and Bonnie's progressive, life-encompassing approach to estate planning was both impressive and would suit my needs in particular. I found the education Kim provided comforting and instructive. I also asked that my grown daughter be included in the process so that she would understand my plan and wishes. Estate planning can be emotional and overwhelming. I found that Kim made it less frightening for me and she skillfully guided me through this process. I will continue my estate planning with Kim as changes in my life unfold.
