A judge paused on Friday a 3-year-old fight over land in a polygamous church trust so the parties can try to negotiate a settlement outside of court.
Forged by the Utah attorney general’s office, the agreement calls for an immediate halt to nearly a dozen lawsuits in state and federal courts involving the United Effort Plan Trust, the charitable arm of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

A settlement — which attorneys predict could be reached within weeks — could pave the way for the FLDS to regain control of trust land that has been under state control since 2005.

Judge Denise Lindberg said the parties are showing a good-faith effort to resolve issues related to the trust.

“The best thing that I can do for you today is to give you that space,” said Lindberg, a judge from the 3rd District who scheduled the hearing in southern Utah’s 5th District so church members could have easier access to the court.

A hearing had originally been scheduled for Lindberg to consider whether court-appointed fiduciary Bruce Wisan could sell a 700-plus-acre parcel from the $110 million communal property trust to pay legal and management fees.

FLDS church members sued unsuccessfully to try to stop the hearing. They also hoped to block the sale of the parcel — called Berry Knoll — in northern Arizona that had been designated for a future temple site.

That sale is now on hold.
