Estate Planning

We worked with Frances to update our will---and with some of the recent changes in estate law, we are really glad we did. Frances provided information, counsel and a modern will which allows us to take advantage of the new laws. We recently signed our new will (and other documents---power of attorne...y, living will, etc) and we couldn't be happier with Frances and her staff. No doubt, we are now much better prepared for whatever the future holds for us and our family. Thank you so much Frances.

Needed A Will And got It Done

My wife and I had very outdated wills, and clearly needed them update since our circumstances had so dramatically changed. Being fairly new to North Carolina, we wanted to make sure we complied with local processes and had a will that would stand up without any issues. She knew the law, she underst...ood our needs, and was extremely through in the process, and helped us get a will in place that met out needs. We never thought of things like power of attorneys and so many other details that would have otherwise been left undone without her help. We know we've left our heirs in a good place, and we have been completely satisfied with her thoroughness and attention to detail - what a wonderful experience! We would highly recommend her services to anyone for any legal need.

Power of Attorney and Medical power of Attorney

I recently, needed a Medical power of Attorney and Power of Attorney for my elderly parents. This can be a very emotional situation. Frances Knox turned this into a memorable event! She went out of her way to make everyone feel comfortable and ensured that everyone understood all of the legalities... around the choices/options that were available. Mrs. Knox even spent additional time with me to ensure that I was properly planning for the future. I highly recommend Mrs. Knox, not only is she a fantastic lawyer but a very kind, compassionate person.

My Will and Powers of Attorney

I needed to prepare my Will and Power of Attorney along with a Healthcare Power of Attorney. I needed mine updated to conform with the Laws of North Carolina. I wanted to make it easier on my children. So called Frances Knox. She took my information and in a very short time she had my documents p...repared. Her office even contacted me for my to appointment. The appointment was informal and made feel very comfortable. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Frances very much!!

Very Professional

I contacted Frances to prepare Wills and various Powers of Attorney for us and she did this speedily, efficiently and with the minimum of fuss. Very fast response to e-mails and general enquiries. I would have absolutely no hesitation in using her services again or recommending her to others. ...As a bonus she has a very pleasant manner about her and is friendly and approachable, as are all her staff.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
