OPINION
BATCHELDER, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs-Appellants Angela Brady-Morris and Denise Brady (“Brady’s daughters”) appeal the district court’s judgment affirming the bankruptcy court’s declaration that the debtor Kenneth Allen Knight Trust (“Trust”) is a “business trust” and therefore entitled to bankruptcy protection. Brady’s daughters argue that the bankruptcy court applied the wrong law and should instead have used either Kentucky’s definition of “business trust,” or an alternate definition taken from federal ease law. Finding no merit to their claims, we affirm.
