(SALT LAKE CITY)—Utah’s attorney general is demanding a settlement in a nearly 5-year-old dispute over a communal land trust once held by a polygamous church. The United Effort Plan Trust holds most of the homes and property in Hildale, Utah and Colorado City, Ariz., where members of the sect in question reside. The trust has been under state control since 2005 after allegations of mismanagement. Settlement talks last year failed. In a letter sent to the sect’s attorneys, Utah AG Mark Shurtleff says the issue must be resolved within 30 days. Shurtleff suggests following a proposal from Bruce Wisan, the accountant appointed by a judge to manage the trust. An attorney for the FLDS says the demand is inconsistent with ongoing settlement talks.
