After years of refusing to cooperate with Wisan, FLDS members have recently filed court challenges, seeking to halt his proposal to sell property in the polygamous border towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz.

"Without assigning blame to either side, a significant amount of distrust exists between the special fiduciary and the majority of UEP Trust participants," Hoole wrote in his response to the controversy.

In his court filings, Hoole appears to support having the fiduciary clear property transactions through the courts, with the opportunity for FLDS members to comment on them in court. He also proposed minutes of advisory board meetings be posted on the Internet, town hall meetings and transitioning authority away from the UEP's court-appointed fiduciary to a new board of trustees.

"No doubt the board of trustees would face many of the same challenges the Special Fiduciary has faced," he wrote. "However, recent events have demonstrated that absent a change in administration the Trust may never resolve the communication and trust issues that have developed."
