Lundberg, a member of the Montana State Bar, as successor trustee, will sell at public auction to the highest bidder, the following described real property situated in Flathead County, Montana, and described as follows: Tract 2 of Certificate of Survey No. 7913, a tract of land situated, lying and being in the Southwest quarter of the Northwest quarter (SW1/4 NW1/4) of Section 36, Township 27 North, Range 19 West, P.M.M., Flathead County, Montana. Parcel ID No.: 0974652 which has the address of 384 Julian Lane, Bigfork, MT 59911. Said sale will be made to satisfy the obligation secured by and pursuant to the power of sale conferred in the trust indenture/deed of trust ("Deed of Trust") dated August 9, 2016 and executed by Johnna R. Hiatt, as grantor ("Grantor"), to Sterling Title of Flathead, as trustee, in favor of Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., as designated nominee for American Homestead Mortgage, LLC, beneficiary of the security instrument, its successors and assigns, as beneficiary, and recorded on August 9, 2016 as Instrument No. 201600016777, official records of Flathead County, Montana. The Deed of Trust was assigned for value to PNC Bank, National Association ("Beneficiary"), the current beneficiary, by written instrument filed for record on April 15, 2022, as Instrument No. 202200009669, official records of Flathead County, Montana. Brigham J. Lundberg ("Successor Trustee") is the successor trustee of the Deed of Trust pursuant to an Appointment of Successor Trustee/Substitution of Trustee recorded on October 3, 2022 as Instrument No. 202200026079, official records of Flathead County, Montana. 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 to timely 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 is now due for the February 1, 2021 installment payment. As of September 27, 2022, the amount necessary to satisfy this obligation was $349,374.63. This amount includes the outstanding principal balance of $314,772.06, plus accrued interest, accrued late charges, accrued escrow installments for insurance and/or taxes (if any), and advances for the protection of the beneficiary's security interest (if any). Due to the default stated above, Beneficiary has elected, and has directed the Successor Trustee, to sell the above-described property to satisfy the obligation. The sale is a public sale and any person, including the beneficiary, excepting only the trustee, may bid at the sale. The bid price must be paid immediately upon the close of bidding 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, including warranties of title or possession, express or implied, as the sale is made strictly on an as-is, where-is basis, without limitation, the sale being made subject to all existing conditions, if any, of lead paint, mold or other environmental or health hazards. The sale is subject to bankruptcy filing, payoff, reinstatement, or other circumstance that affects the validity of the sale. If the sale is set aside or the trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of funds paid to the successor trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The purchaser shall be entitled to possession of the property on the 10th day following the sale. The scheduled Trustee's Sale may be postponed by public proclamation up to 15 days for any reason, and in the event of a bankruptcy filing or other court-ordered stay, the sale may be postponed by the trustee for up to 120 days by public proclamation at least every 30 days. The grantor, the successor-in-interest to the grantor, or any other person having an interest in the aforesaid property, at any time prior to the trustee's sale, may pay to the present beneficiary the entire amount then due under the Deed of Trust and the obligation secured thereby (including costs and expenses actually incurred and attorney's fees) other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred and thereby cure the default theretofore existing. This communication is from a debt collector. It is an attempt to collect a debt, and any information obtained will be used for that purpose. DATED: 10/10/2022 /S/ Brigham J. Lundberg Brigham J.
