Court supervision confirmed in UEP case
July 18, 2009
Utah: Judge Denise Lindberg of the Third District, Utah District Courts, ruled "that several people who want to intervene in the court-supervised handling of the United Effort Plan Trust have no legal standing to do so". The United Effort Plan was established by the FLDS Church, led by Warren Jeffs. It reportedly has $114 million in assets, but is no longer in the church's control. A state court took it over after allegations of mismanagement were leveled against Jeffs.
Individuals seeking to replace a court-appointed special fiduciary manager for the Plan were rebuffed in Lindberg's three page ruling, as were "potential beneficiaries of the trust [that] have previously been found to not have legal standing".[1]
