When I first read about this it wasn't immediately clear whether this was legit or a joke. Several days later and I still don't have any clarity.

I wonder if this is some sort of lawsuit protection? A way where they cannot get to his money?

this is my thinking. It probably won't work, but it smells like a cash sequestration maneuver.

Religious protections are disturbingly rock solid. Costs very little to try at least.

you'd be surprised. There's a long history of people trying and failing to do this and have it come out the way they expect. I lived for a while in an 1870s victorian house -- it's original owner tried to get it zoned as a "thiest house" in about 1900 so he could dodge property taxes. He didn't succeed, and the court case makes for some pretty amusing reading.
