We never thought we would need an Advanced Directive or a Medical Power of Attorney. Thankfully we met with Kyle and had these documents along with our wills drawn up. Still, never dreaming we would need them. And then Covid hit. My fiance and I both caught it. Dave was a healthy male in his 40's with no medical conditions, on no medications, active, and in none of the "risk groups" for Covid. At about day 8 his condition declined quickly and he ended up in the hospital. Two days later he was on a ventilator. THANKFULLY I had the documents Kyle drew up for us. We weren't legally married yet (delayed due to covid). I took copies of the documents to the hospital and was able to make all of his medical decisions with no issues. One thing that had crossed my mind was what if he had elected to not have any form of life support? When you think about life support you think "I don't want to be a vegetable". He was on a ventilator and a feeding tube, that is life support. Luckily with Kyle's guidance we had chosen to leave all of those decision to each other and elected to not refuse any life saving treatments including "life support". In the end we were blessed with a miracle and he's home and recovering. We remain so thankful for Kyle. Please call him. Please take the time. You just never know.

Utilized Kyle Krull for estate planning. We are legacy clients of sixteen years. Over the years, when in need of quick turnaround on a question, always received timely and thorough responses. Genuine and professional attorney with ability to communicate in an understandable way legal language and processes to the lay person.

After attending several "Trust" seminars and an extensive internet search, we selected Kyle Krull for our estate plan attorney. Kyle was able to bring the "Lawyer" language to an understandable legible consumer level while providing several options and allowing us to choose what best fit our situation. He then went above and beyond with details and recommendations as to how to navigate the documents and requirements needed per our decision. The complete process was easily completed even as we had to contend with the ongoing COVID-19 interruption with the social distancing requirements. I would highly recommend Kyle to anyone for this opportunity. He remains up to date on all laws and changes as they impact what is and is not possible. His web site and blog are excellent tools to keep his constituents up to date and on track. Kyle doesn't use a "canned-one size fits all" program by filling in the blanks, as he adjusts and acclimates the process/documents to fit your specific requirements.

Attorney Kyle Krull prepared my Living Trust, Will, and Health Care Power of Attorney documents. Like many people, I had been thinking about doing this for many years, but I kept putting it off. Then I got sick, and so it became urgent that I get this done. Kyle patiently explained everything to me. I felt very comfortable with him, and I learned a lot as we went through the process. I feel so much better having a carefully crafted healthcare directive. Knowing that my assets will be well protected, and distributed as I wish, gives me true peace of mind. I love the sectioned portfolio with detailed instructions to help me ensure all aspects of my estate are handled properly. I am extremely happy with the products that Kyle has provided. I am grateful to have met both Kyle and his wife Gretchen. Thank you so very much Kyle!

We chose this business on the strength of the reviews we read. It is now our turn to recommend the Krull Law Office, which we do with enthusiasm. We needed to establish a Family Trust for our pensions and properties. Kyle is a very safe and professional pair of hands. He gathers the requisite financial and familial information from you, and then advises you how best to create a Trust for your needs. He communicates with ease, clarity, and not a little humor. When it comes to signing the Trust documents, he guides you though them one by one. He also indicates how you can gather the additional information to ease the path of your executors. All told, we highly recommend the Krull team. We are now in possession of a binder of legal documents which expresses our every wish for our modest estate.

We worked with Kyle to arrange our estate planning documents. He was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. He streamlined our process by sending us informational videos where we could have many of our questions answered before signing a bunch of documents! We were very thankful for his work (as well as Gretchen's) in order to get these documents arranged, signed and completed prior to us leaving the country. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We would highly recommend their services over and over again. Thanks for all you guys did for us!

I used Kyle to provide an up to date will and associated estate planning documents. The process he uses is very well organized. After I completed a series of online questions we sat down for an hour to map out the strategy for the will. He sent me a draft of the documents a couple weeks later for my review and comments. Lastly there was a session to sign the finalized documents. I left his office with a well organized binder which included the entire will and estate plan documents. I was fairly certain of my estate planning needs before hiring him but it was great to discuss them and be confident that my plan had no hidden issues. That said I am sure he would be a great choice for those that need help getting started with an initial estate plan.

Kyle makes you feel like family. He's not just a lawyer, he's a friend. He truly wants to help you make all the right choices for YOU. He goes above and beyond to explain everything. He's patient and doesn't make you feel inferior if you don't understand. You can most definitely count on Kyle for all of your planning needs.

Kyle successfully updated and did a thorough restatement of our Trust with a new amendment and change of executor. His advice to change the beneficiary on our IRA's to go to a not for profit will save a significant amount of taxes for our other beneficiary.
