Purchased my Second Home

Ken Nance was the closing attorney for the house I was purchasing! He did a fantastic job. The most notable was his efforts at keeping me informed of everything that was going on, as well as ensuring that all pf y questions were answered. He is very personable and his fees are very reasonable. Hopefu...lly if I ever relocate again, I will be able to utilize his services!

Buying Property

Mr. Nance was very helpful in assisting my family in purchasing a piece of property. He explained the process and the closing was completed on schedule. I would highly recommend Mr. Nance to others for their real estate closings.

Having A Baby Changed Everything

My wife and I had our first child a few months ago and the realization set in that we needed to plan in case something happened to either or both of us. Mr. Nance advised us as to everything we needed to have in place and made us feel very comfortable with our decisions.

Posted by Fred | March 30, 2015 | Estate Planning

Provided wills, powers of attorneys, health care powers of attorneys and long term care advice.

Did a great job of explaining what we needed for long term planning and putting that plan in place to prepare us and our family for financial security as we age.

Long Term Care Of Parent

Mr. Nance put together a long-term plan to help take care of our mom and protect her assets. He explained everything in terms we could understand, answered all of our questions and made us feel very comfortable with our decisions.

"I had the pleasure of working alongside Ken for several years in Wilmington, NC. He has vast knowledge of real estate law in North Carolina, and is deeply committed to his clients. He is also a local boy -- he grew up in Southeastern NC and knows the area as well as anyone. I would recommend him for any real estate transaction needs in Southeastern NC."

General practice lawyer | Jul 15

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am very pleased to endorse my former law school classmate, and legal colleague, Attorney Frederick "Ken" Nance. In law school, Ken was one of the first upperclassmen to assist me in learning legal research on Westlaw and Lexis, and since then, I have admired his process-oriented thinking when it comes to legal problems. The core of his excellence is that he knows the law, and he makes good decisions based on both judgement and careful research and thinking beforehand. If Wilmington-area residents need a thoughtful problem solver, they would be well served to rely on Ken Nance."

Elder law lawyer | Apr 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"It takes a very specific kind of lawyer to provide top tier representation for Elder Law and Wills/Trusts/Probate matters. Specifically, the lawyers who practice in those areas need to be extremely detail oriented, meticulously organized, and highly personable, so that they can efficiently identify each individual client’s unique legal needs. I’ve known Ken for years, and in that time I’ve come to admire his ability to comprehensively and efficiently assess, understand, and address his clients’ needs. That unique combination of traits allows Ken to accomplish his client’s goals without imposing any unnecessary delays or expenses on them. As a fellow attorney, the biggest compliment that I can pay Ken is to say that if I, or a family member, ever need an attorney to help with an elder law or estate planning issue, there’s no one that I would trust more than Ken Nance."
