FLDS sect members fight to stop sale of Utah farm
More articles on this topic: FLDS sect members fight to stop sale of Utah farm
A new fight has begun over a farm that for decades provided food, jobs and income for a besieged polygamous sect.
Attorneys representing 16 FLDS members have filed an action in 5th District Court claiming the Harker Farm in Beryl was seized by a court-appointed fiduciary overseeing the United Effort Plan Trust without recognizing their lifetime right to work and live there. The lawsuit was filed July 10 in Iron County and has been assigned to Judge John T. Walton.
The court filing claims the FLDS members contributed labor, built houses and improved the farm believing they would live and work there forever.
If Bruce R. Wisan, who has overseen the UEP Trust since 2005, proceeds with a plan to sell the farm, they want proceeds turned over to them as compensation for those contributions. They also claim Wisan improperly evicted them from their homes at the farm after they refused to work for him.
Wisan said Wednesday he does not believe the plaintiffs have much of a case.
[...]Wisan said he believes the lawsuit is “probably part of Willie Jessop wanting to go full force against the trust.” Jessop is a member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and has emerged in recent months as a spokesman for the sect and its members.
Wisan forced a sheriff’s sale of the 600-acre farm, then operated by the FLDS members, last year to satisfy a $8.8 million default judgment against former UEP trustees.
[...]But the sale was stopped after Sterling and William Harker, two of Parley J. Harker’s sons and also former FLDS members, objected to not being compensated.
