Court-appointed CPA to get FLDS payment

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A court-appointed fiduciary has reversed a decision to reject a check for past-due housing fees from a Utah polygamous church.

Bruce Wisan initially rejected the Monday payment of $192,600 made "under protest" by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints .

The fees are half of what's owed in occupancy fees on homes in Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz. The homes are held in the church's United Effort Plan Trust .

Utah courts seized the trust in 2005 after allegations of mismanagement and put Wisan in control. Wisan feared accepting the payment would have left him vulnerable to a lawsuit.

The FLDS dispute the need for the payment, and FLDS attorneys have since said they do not intend to sue.

The group has a ranch in West Texas.
