Salt Lake City, Utah Jul 30, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - A compelling new release, The Mormon Mafia and ME by Brett L. Eliason, provides an in-depth, personal account of a family estate case involving a $250 million trust and a well-known Utah law firm. The book has sparked interest among readers who are interested in estate law, trust management, and the importance of transparency in legal practices.
Eliason, a former Vice President at Zions Bank and an MBA graduate from the University of Utah, recounts his familys experience with a trust consisting of real estate and oil-related assets. According to Eliason, the assets were mishandled after being transferred to legal custody in 2013. The firm at the center of the case, Kirton McConkie, is widely recognized for its association with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These claims were presented in a legal dispute before the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Case No. 2:23-cv-00785, which was dismissed on May 29, 2024.
Eliason alleges that, after the transfer, the estates assets became difficult to trace, and he suggests that inconsistencies existed in the handling of legal documents. He introduces the concept of The Old Switcheroo to describe the changes to key estate agreements that he believes lacked sufficient transparency. No formal findings of wrongdoing have been made against the firm, and Eliason's request for a wider investigation has not been addressed.
In The Mormon Mafia and ME, Eliason draws on years of documentation and personal experience, offering a combination of legal analysis, personal narrative, and advocacy for reform. He proposes legislation that would mandate independent annual audits of legal trusts to ensure accountability, particularly for vulnerable groups like the elderly.
What distinguishes this book is not just the thoroughness of Eliasons account but also his commitment to advocating for systemic change. Eliason has chosen not to pursue an out-of-court settlement, instead focusing on his goal of promoting trust law reform and accountability in legal practices.
For readers interested in true crime, legal integrity, and reform, The Mormon Mafia and ME offers a thought-provoking exploration of accountability within the legal system.
