Elder Law














Ariano Hardy has recognized the growing practice area of Elder Law and its importance to an aging population. Elder Law focuses on the legal issues that are likely to affect the senior members of our community. This growing area of legal practice includes such areas as:
  • Guardianship;
  • Long-term care planning;
  • Medicaid application and asset preservation planning, and appeals;
  • Powers of attorney for property and health care;
  • Estate Planning and Special Needs Trusts;
  • Insurance claims and appeals; and
  • Other government benefits and appeals.
Disability is a threat that we all face as we become older. The key to being able to protect ourselves against the risks associated with disability or incapacity is advanced planning. Long-term care costs are staggering and can deplete even a sizable estate in a few short years.

Ariano Hardy can help clients prepare for the possibility of disability or incapacity, or address issues arising from a current disability, by helping clients understand their rights and how they can protect their assets, independence and dignity in the face of the high costs of long-term care and nursing home care.

Ariano Hardy understands the close relationship between estate planning and long-term care planning as well as the emotional, physical and financial burdens of caring for loved ones with disabilities. The firm is closely affiliated with a large community of service providers assisting the elderly, the disabled and their families in the Chicagoland area and the Western Suburbs, enabling it to assist its clients with their legal and many other needs.

Ariano Hardy serves clients in the Fox Valley Area and the Chicago Northwest Suburbs in communities such as Elgin, South Elgin, Huntley, Hampshire, Hoffman Estates, St. Charles, Geneva, Aurora, Bartlett, Streamwood, East and West Dundee, Carpentersville, Lake In The Hills, and Crystal Lake.
