Protecting Families and Legacies

The firm's mission is to empower clients with the knowledge and legal tools they need to face the challenges of aging, disability, and mortality with confidence and peace of mind.

A Personal Mission

Michelle Tupper Butler's transition into elder law was sparked by a family crisis. After her active father suffered a tragic fall that left him a quadriplegic, she found herself navigating the labyrinth of long-term care and medical advocacy without a plan in place. This life-altering experience ignited a passion to ensure that other families would not have to face similar crises unprepared. Today, Tupper Butler Law stands as a beacon for those seeking to protect their loved ones and their life savings from the devastating costs of long-term care. The firm is known for its empathy, patience, and unwavering commitment to its clients' well-being.

Comprehensive Estate and Elder Law Services

The firm specializes in areas that are critical for protecting assets and ensuring quality of life during the golden years. Key practice areas include:

• Crisis Care Planning: assisting families who are currently in the midst of a medical emergency, helping them secure immediate care while protecting assets from being completely drained by nursing home costs.
• Medicaid Planning: utilizing legal strategies to help clients qualify for Medicaid benefits to pay for long-term care without losing everything they have worked for.
• Estate Planning: crafting personalized wills, revocable living trusts, and irrevocable trusts to ensure that assets are distributed according to the client's wishes and to minimize family disputes.
• Powers of Attorney: drafting robust financial and healthcare powers of attorney that allow trusted family members to make decisions when a client is unable to do so.
• Special Needs Planning: creating trusts that provide for a disabled loved one's quality of life without jeopardizing their eligibility for essential government benefits.
