How I Lawfully Defeated a Debt Collection Lawsuit & Secured My Estate Using Trust Law
By Daniel-Wayne; of the Gard Family
In this blog, i explain how i lawfully defeated a debt collection case in county court, claimed control over my estate & trust, and protected my legal name using my own documents.
In a world where nearly every contract is presumed, every obligation is silent, and every man or woman is mistaken for a corporate fiction, clarity is everything.
What follows is not just a personal victory — it is a strategic demonstration of how private governance, trust structuring, and proper status correction can extinguish fraudulent claims and reassert control over your name, estate, and legacy.
Background: The Challenge
In Case ID: CI 25 123, filed in County Court of Saunders County, Nebraska, the Plaintiff — LVNV Funding LLC, a known third-party debt collector — initiated an action attempting to enforce a commercial claim against an entity identified as “DANIEL GARD.”
But here’s the distinction:
That name does not define me.
I am Daniel-Wayne; of the Gard Family, living man, Executor of the ESTATE OF DANIEL WAYNE GARD, and Grantor/Trustee of THE GARD FAMILY TRUST© — standing firmly in the private.
This was not a fight over debt.
This was a correction of jurisdiction, status, and the silencing of presumption.
- Disclaimer of Interest
- Trust Governance
- Cover
- Affidavit of Status
- Certificate of Trust
- Certificate of Mailing
The Strategy: Precision Filings, Proper Standing
Every move I made was deliberate, lawful, and executed with full knowledge of trust law, estate claim structure, and private authority.
- Filed a Disclaimer of Interest
I disclaimed all attachment or liability to the all-caps estate — the corporate fiction.
I served notice that I do not act as surety or representative for any “DANIEL GARD” legal person. This was my first decisive separation from the commercial presumption. - Asserted Trust Governance
I filed a Certificate of Trust under THE GARD FAMILY TRUST©, placing the estate under private trust control. This reinforced jurisdictional boundaries and denied the court any standing over the estate from a public capacity. - Filed Key Affidavits and Notices
- Affidavit of Status & Standing
- Notice of Irrevocable Trust Control
- Statement of Interest
- Certificate of Mailing and Service
Each document acted as a pillar, forming a lawful wall no claim could penetrate. These were not arguments — they were lawful records.
- Delivered Courtesy Copies to Opposing Counsel
Transparency without submission. I mailed every document to the Plaintiff’s attorney — certified — as a matter of record and honor. - Stood Ground Without Argument
I did not “defend.” I did not argue merits of a contract I never signed. I stood only as Executor, protected by trust, by structure, and by law. Hell, i never even showed up that day!
No joinder. No surety. No assumption.
The Result: Case Dismissed, Record Sealed
There was no trial. No testimony. No negotiation. The court took judicial notice of the facts presented, and the case did not proceed. The presumption was shattered. My standing was established. The case was dismissed with prejudice, with the Plaintiff ordered to bear all costs.
What began as a presumed commercial enforcement quickly became a clear exercise in lawful private estate administration.
The system had no rebuttal because I gave them no controversy — only truth, standing, and lawful notice.
