No. 24963 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE Reference is hereby made to that certain trust indenture/deed of trust ("Deed of Trust") dated 05/27/03, recorded as Instrument No. 436510, mortgage records of LAKE County, Montana in which Michael Munoz and Amy Munoz, husband and wife was Grantor, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Inc. was Beneficiary and Lake County Title was Trustee. First American Title Insurance Company has succeeded Lake County Title as Successor Trustee. The Deed of Trust encumbers real property ("Property") located in LAKE County, Montana, more particularly described as follows: Parcel 1: All that portion of the W1/2W1/2E1/2 of Lot 7 and the W1/2W1/2SE1/4NW1/4 lying South of U.S. Highway 93 in Section 2, Township 24 North Range 21 West, P.M.M., Lake County, Montana, and further shown and described as "Parcel C" of Certificate of Survey No. 2496, on file in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of Lake County, Montana. Excepting therefrom those lands acquired by the State of Montana, acting by and through the Department of Highways of the State of Montana, by Judgement and Final Order of Condemnation recorded March 28, 1988 under Microfile No. 311346, Records of Lake County, Montana. Parcel 2: Easement for ingress and egress, as created by Judgement of Final Order of Condemnation, in re The State of Montana, acting by and through the Department of Highways of the State of Montana, plaintiff, -vs- Rebecca E Mattson, as sole owner, defendant, recorded March 28, 1988 under Microfile No. 311346, Records of Lake County, Montana. By written instrument recorded as Instrument No. 536773, beneficial interest in the Deed of Trust was assigned to Bank of America, N.A. Beneficiary has declared the Grantor in default of the terms of the Deed of Trust and the promissory note ("Note") secured by the Deed of Trust because of Grantor's failure timely to pay all monthly installments of principal, interest and, if applicable, escrow reserves for taxes and/or insurance as required by the Note and Deed of Trust. According to the Beneficiary, the obligation evidenced by the Note ("Loan") is now due for the 12/01/13 installment payment and all monthly installment payments due thereafter. As of August 29, 2017, the amount necessary to fully satisfy the Loan was $959,205.27. This amount includes the outstanding principal balance of $731,235.05, plus accrued interest, accrued late charges, accrued escrow installments for insurance and/or taxes (if any) and advances for the protection of beneficiary's security interest (if any). Because of the defaults stated above, Beneficiary has elected to sell the Property to satisfy the Loan and has instructed Successor Trustee to commence sale proceedings. Successor Trustee will sell the Property at public auction on the front steps of the Lake County Courthouse, 106 Fourth Ave. E., Polson, MT 59860, City of Polson on January 5, 2018 at 11:00 AM, Mountain Time. The sale is a public sale and any person, including Beneficiary and excepting only Successor Trustee, may bid at the sale. The bid price must be paid immediately upon the close of bidding at the sale location in cash or cash equivalents (valid money orders, certified checks or cashier's checks). The conveyance will be made by trustee's deed without any representation or warranty, express or implied, as the sale is made strictly on an as-is, where-is basis. Grantor, successor in interest to Grantor or any other person having an interest in the Property may, at any time prior to the trustee's sale, pay to Beneficiary the entire amount then due on the Loan (including foreclosure costs and expenses actually incurred and trustee's and attorney's fees) other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred. Tender of these sums shall effect a cure of the defaults stated above (if all non-monetary defaults are also cured) and shall result in Trustee's termination of the foreclosure and cancellation of the foreclosure sale. The trustee's rules of auction may be accessed at www.northwesttrustee.com and are incorporated by the reference. You may also access sale status at www.Northwesttrustee.com or USA-Foreclosure.com.
