Summary:  The difference between the resolvents of two selfadjoint extensions of a certain symmetric operator $ A $ is described by Krein's resolvent formula. We will prove an analog of Krein's formula in a general framework, apply it to extensions theory, and give a straightforward proof of Krein's formula including the case that $ A$ is not necessarily densely defined. We will also present a modification of Krein's formula adjusted to perturbation theory and prove the corresponding resolvent estimate.

Keywords:  Krein's formula, resolvent analysis, perturbation theory
