Change is one of the only “certainties” in life, and some of those changes can significantly impact your estate plan.
Note: If you know the "specific changes" needed for your estate plan to reflect your current wishes, you can directly engage us to make those changes. How? Click the "Contact" tab at the top of this page and complete our "Contact Us" form rather than clicking "Request a Consultation" or "Get Started Now" button.
On the other hand, you may be unsure whether 1) your estate plan can be fully “repaired” by making those “specific changes;” or 2) you should be “starting over” with a new estate plan.
The price of a “will-based estate plan” (probate planning) review is $350, and the price of a “revocable living trust-based plan” (probate avoidance planning) review is $500, whether we prepared the estate plan or you are bringing a plan prepared elsewhere. After the review, any requested “specific changes” or “starting over” will be invoiced separately.
By analogy, consider it a “full physical exam” of your current plan. In that spirit, just like my own annual full physical with Dr. Michael Monaco, you will have some “tests” to complete and submit before we meet to discuss the results. Regarding my “full physical exam,” the tests include an EKG, blood draw, lung capacity, blood flow ultrasound, pulmonary function, and mental acuity.
For the “full physical exam” of your estate plan, there are three (3) required online e-documents (our Estate Planning Priorities Quiz, Confidential Client Questionnaire, and Estate Review Questions) and one (1) fillable PDF form (our Confidential Client Financial Information form). Please scroll down for an explanation of these essential forms.
After submitting your request for a Review Consultation, you will receive links to the first three forms in three separate emails. Note: The link to the fourth form is provided immediately below.
A general overview of your financial assets is essential in helping us prepare for your meeting and answer your questions. While we provide a fillable PDF form for your convenient use, you may also provide this same information in an alternative format. You may follow this link to download our fillable PDF form: Confidential Client Financial Information. If you choose to use our fillable PDF form, please complete the form, save it to your computer, and email a copy to kyle.krull@harvestlaw.com. We recommend you download the free Foxit PDF Reader to ensure the best experience with this form.
Just as our clients are unique, so is each estate plan we create. What is “essential” for one client may be “irrelevant” to your circumstances, and vice versa.
The purpose of this “survey” is two-fold: 1) to provide us with an initial snapshot of your unique estate planning priorities and 2) to provide you with an easy-to-understand estate planning tutorial before we meet. After you complete the Estate Planning Priorities Quiz, you may have a better grasp of estate planning than most attorneys!
The purpose of this Questionnaire is also two-fold: 1) to provide us with the initial snapshot of the 3 Ps relevant to your estate plan [i.e., the important People, Property, and Plans]; and 2) to help you think through and evaluate your important 3 Ps before our meeting.
Please complete and submit the third and final e-document. It will help you review and consider important life changes that may warrant changes in your estate planning. The questions are drawn from more than 30 years of experience with more than 3,000 clients.
A: Information on this form will be saved automatically when you close the form. To access the in-process form, use the form link provided in this email. We recommend that you review the Questionnaire form first, locate the information requested, and then set aside time to complete the form. Do not click "Submit" until all information has been completed.
A: If the form does not “submit,” please look for fields outlined in red on the pages associated with any tab reflecting a red “!” and complete the required field. Once all required fields are completed, the form can be successfully submitted.

Mary D. CushingFebruary 12, 2024Highly recommend the people and services in this law firm.Anita FinnJanuary 25, 2024Kyle was patient and thorough. He was able to explain the legal concepts in an easy to understand manner.Susan HerwigJanuary 19, 2024I am a 2nd generation family member to use the Law Office of Kyle Krull , PA and I couldn’t be happier with my experience and estate plan!Kathleen DeMunckJanuary 17, 2024Our two meetings and communications with Kyle and Gretchen Krull were excellent. They are knowledgeable, able to explain the difficult concepts of Estate Planning and have thought of every detail needed to make one comfortable with the end result. Their patience with my many questions was extraordinary. We especially appreciated their connection to us. They are people who care.Kate EsquivelJanuary 17, 2024Highest of ratings! We had met with a few firms to finalize our estate and knew immediately upon meeting these two this would be it. Explained everything to our understanding, gave us guidance, and never felt rushed or sold! Recommending them to everyone I know!Gary WellsJanuary 10, 2024Kyle has been our Estate Planning Attorney for the last 12 years. During this time he has listened carefully to our wishes, asked thoughtful questions, and created plans that exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!Merideth RoseNovember 16, 2023My mother and I cannot speak highly enough about our experience with Kyle and Gretchen Krull. Having conducted extensive research on estate planning attorneys best suited to support my mother in updating her revocable living trust, health directives and other estate planning documents, we were first drawn to Kyle and Gretchen due to the plethora of positive reviews we found in conjunction with their services. Having completed the process and now with current and finalized documents, we can attest to the quality, attention, great sensitivity and trauma-informed personal touch Kyle and Gretchen provide. Assisting my mother who is of age and at times found this process to be a bit daunting, Kyle approached my mother, her needs and the totality of her experience with great grace, patience and thoroughness. I like to believe he cared for my mother, only as I would and could. Our hearts and minds are now with great comfort in knowing her wishes for her personal and financial affairs have been adequately heard and prepared for. Indeed we are grateful to have met Kyle, and now to be considered as clients of the Krull family.Melinda EmigSeptember 20, 2023Kyle returned my call the same day to speak with my mom and me about her trust/estate status and gave my mom spot on advice/insight without charging my her. My mom has extremely limited vision, and a family member had taken documents from her trust/will out of her home without telling her. After our initial call, mom hired Kyle. He made sure all my mom’s PoA's, Addendums, etc. were in order, updated, and delivered to her within a few days. Kyle has vast knowledge in all estate planning, wills, and trust matters. His kindness and integrity were apparent from our first call and meeting. His staff is very professional (Gretchen is amazingly helpful and responsive). Kyle guides his clients through the trust/will/estate procedure with knowledge, insight and efficiency while taking great care of his clients which made the entire process easy!Pascal LutzSeptember 10, 2023My spouse and I had a great experience working with Kyle and Gretchen to get our estate planning organized. We felt we received good advise and that the process was smooth and efficient. We recommend Kyle and Gretchen without any hesitation.
