Families today face difficult questions as loved ones age. How do you pay for long-term care? When is the right time to begin planning? What legal documents need to be in place? And how do you balance healthcare decisions, finances, and quality of life?

These are the questions that P. Glen Smith, JD, Founder and Managing Attorney of Lifescape Elder Care Law & Estate Planning, will address as a featured speaker at the Cramer Capital Management Semi-Annual Economic Luncheon on Thursday, July 23, 2026, at the Diamond Conference Center in Kansas City.

The event brings together respected professionals from the financial, legal, and investment communities to discuss the issues shaping today’s economic and financial landscape. Glen will join keynote speaker Victoria L. Fernandez, CFA, Chief Market Strategist for Crossmark Global Investments, along with Bruce Cramer, President and Wealth Manager of Cramer Capital Management.

Helping Families Navigate the Challenges of Aging

As people live longer than ever before, eldercare planning has become one of the most important—and often most overlooked—aspects of financial and legal planning.

During his presentation, Glen will explore the complex decisions families face when a loved one begins to need additional support because of aging, illness, or disability. Rather than focusing on legal documents alone, his presentation will examine how healthcare, finances, housing, and long-term care all work together to shape a family’s future.

Attendees will gain practical insights into planning ahead before a crisis occurs, protecting assets while preserving eligibility for public benefits when appropriate, and creating a coordinated plan that supports both the older adult and the family members providing care.

A Different Approach to Elder Law

At Lifescape Elder Care Law & Estate Planning, elder law extends well beyond wills and powers of attorney.

The firm’s multidisciplinary approach combines experienced legal counsel with Life Care Planning and elder care coordination to help families navigate every stage of the aging journey. By bringing legal planning together with care advocacy and long-term care guidance, Lifescape helps families make informed decisions while reducing stress during some of life’s most challenging transitions.

Whether a family is facing a recent dementia diagnosis, planning for future care needs, exploring Medicaid or VA benefits, or simply preparing for the years ahead, the goal is always the same: to protect quality of life while creating a clear path forward.

An Experienced Educator in Elder Law

Glen is widely recognized as both an attorney and educator in the field of elder law. He is a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, the Academy of Special Needs Planners, and ElderCounsel, and is accredited by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to assist veterans with available benefits.

He earned his Master of Divinity from Nazarene Theological Seminary and his Juris Doctor from the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law. In 2025, he was honored with the National Business Institute’s Outstanding Faculty Award in recognition of his commitment to educating attorneys and other professionals on elder law and estate planning.
