Speaker: Christopher R. Hoyt, JD, AEP® (Distinguished)

Prof. Hoyt will examine the challenges of getting tax savings from charitable gifts since the enactment of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will describe strategies that can still generate tax savings.  The best arrangements include “bunching” gifts with donor advised funds and making qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) from IRAs.  In addition, Prof. Hoyt will illustrate situations when a family can be better off naming a charitable remainder trust as the beneficiary of a retirement account, and when it is better to simply name individuals as beneficiaries.

Christopher Hoyt is a Professor of Law at the University of Missouri (Kansas City) School of Law where he teaches courses in the area of federal income taxation, charitable organizations and retirement plans.

Previously, he was with the law firm of Spencer, Fane, Britt & Browne in Kansas City, Missouri. He received an undergraduate degree in economics from Northwestern University and he received dual law and accounting degrees from the University of Wisconsin.
