Areas of Practice
Krill Law Firm is a law firm based in Grand Rapids, Michigan and serving clients statewide. Our focus is concentrated on Estate Planning, Estate Administration, Probate, Trust Administration, and general Legal Counsel and Advice in Kent County and all adjoining Michigan counties.
Estate Planning
There are many elements to Estate Planning, such as asset management during and after your lifetime, healthcare treatment and nursing care planning, minimizing the emotional and financial difficulties for your loved ones upon your passing, and even charitable giving. To plan for an estate, our firm begins with the end in mind: How do I want to be remembered? How will my life benefit future generations? What long-term impact do I choose to have when planning to pass my assets? A legacy is more than a list of physical assets. It includes relational, social, and emotional inheritance, too. Having an estate plan in place helps you steward and secure your assets and helps your beneficiaries efficiently receive your legacy and avoid probate court.
Estate Administration, Probate, and Trust Administration
Losing a loved one brings about overwhelming loss and emotion. It is often a time of vulnerability and confusion. Being able to turn to a considerate attorney with expertise is essential in helping to navigate the many post-death questions, deadlines, and filings that arise in every estate. The Krill Law Firm’s experience in estate administration, probate, and trust administration is specifically designed to assist with the smoothest possible navigation in that process. Our team stands shoulder-to-shoulder with families navigating grief and acts as compassionate advocates while administering estates and trusts to ensure proper asset handling and distribution.
Legal Counsel & Advice
The Krill Law Firm builds strong relationships with our clients and becomes trusted advisors in areas outside of estate planning and estate and trust administration. Our team is well-qualified to handle contract review and preparation, including real estate or business contracts, and more.

Client Testimonials
We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve.
“Hillary was incredibly knowledgeable handling my estate planning as a single person with no children. She pointed out things I never would have thought of and handled everything with grace and professionalism from beginning to end. I could not possibly have been in better hands. I’m now prepared for all the ‘what if’ scenarios, which brings me a lot of peace.”

“As an attorney myself, I brought my aging parents to Krill Law Firm to assist them in both Estate Planning and healthcare treatment preferences (“living will”). I am so glad I turned to Hillary for their needs. Hillary was kind, knowledgeable, and professional, and she helped my parents at every step in their planning. We were all so impressed with this law firm. Excellent service.”

“I lost my husband several years ago. As a widow, I needed a lawyer I could trust to be sure my family with my four children were taken care of properly. My situation was complicated by a new partner in my life who does not have children. Hillary and her law firm met and far exceeded our expectations.”
