The religious society's property that is in the custody of the overseer cannot be taken by a court for satisfaction of personal claims against the overseer, because the property is held ONLY in the overseer's fiduciary capacity. At one point in American History, the Patriarch of every household was legally considered as being the overseer of a common-law corporation sole. In looking at this pattern, it appears that the US Constitution's prohibition against "corruption of blood", is one of the legal foundations and supports for this concept.
When no law can restrict the right, by blood relationship, for your children to inherit the fruits of the parent's labor, this is identical in precept to no law being able to take away the right of future members of your congregation or religious order [family religious unit] to use and enjoy the property of previous generations. The constitution seems to recognize that as a family Patriarch, we are not working for our own benefit, but for the benefit of future generations.
Quite obviously, the founding fathers of America thought of the family as the basic religious unit of society. We are therefore acting as a fiduciary for our grandchildren and the family property is not ours alone, but belongs to the family.
Taxation is the only means for governments to work corruption of blood. Because no law may impair obligation of contracts, then when one places their family's property under contract (mortgage or otherwise), that property is no longer protected by the "corruption of blood" provisions. The primary contract that compromises our right of owning property is the Social Security Number.
One of the most difficult contracts that one must deal with is the UCC's "holder in due course" issue regarding Federal Reserve Notes (FeRNs). The Corporation Sole / Vow of Poverty deals with this issue better than any other method. By not owning anything, we can be carrying pockets full of FeRNs, be in charge of massive investment accounts, and still have no personal liability for the bankruptcy nature of the Federal Reserve Notes [United States Bankruptcy debt instruments].
During the "transition phase" out of a life that is completely under government regulation and control and into a life of liberty and privacy, it appears that Corporation Sole can be a valid and valuable tool for many traditional family units, both as a limit on liability and for protection of family assets.
