The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be:
3703 W. Bullard Ave. #211, Fresno, CA 93711
Said property is owned of record by ERIK JUNIOR ARELLANO and AMELIA M. MARTINEZ.
The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.  Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum due under said Notice of Delinquent Assessment Lien, with interest thereon, as provided in said notice, advances, if any, estimated fees, charges, and expenses of the Trustee, to-wit:  $14,484.09
Accrued interest, including but not limited to the interest on the purchase price paid by the purchaser and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale.  (Please refer to Code of Civil Procedure Section 729.060.)
The claimant, @@, under said Notice of Delinquent Assessment Lien heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell.  The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS:  If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.  You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.  Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property.  You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.  If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.  You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contact the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information.  If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER:  The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.  The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.  If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call The STOX Group – Posting And Publishing at (714) 929-1052 or visit this Internet Web Site www.stoxposting.com using the file number assigned to this case #MLS347.  Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web Site.  The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS AND PROPERTY OWNER:  This property is being sold with a 90-Day redemption period pursuant to Civil Code Section 5715 and Code of Civil Procedure 729.035.  In the event the Property Owner attempts to redeem the property prior to the expiration of the 90-Day redemption period, the redemption price may include those items set forth pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 729.060.  Should the purchase and property owner be unable to agree on a price of redemption, that includes the lien of claimant and the items included in Code of Civil Procedure Section 729.060, it is the responsibility of the Property Owner and Potential Bidder(s) to resolve all issues with the price of redemption and advise Trustee pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 729.070 and 729.080.
NOTICE TO TENANT:  You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code.  If you are an “eligible tenant buyer”, you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.  If you are an “eligible bidder”, you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.  There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.  First, 48 hours after the date of trustee sale, you can call (714) 929-1052 or visit the Internet Web Site www.stoxposting.com using the file number assigned to this case (Case File Number #MLS347) to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.  Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale.  Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale.  If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder”, you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.
IF YOU INTEND TO BID AT THE TRUSTEE’S SALE, YOUR CASHIER’S CHECK(s) MUST BE MADE PAYABLE TO MEDVETTA FINANCIAL INC.  THIRD PARTY CASHIER’S CHECK(s) ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. 
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE A DEBT COLLECTOR AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

Bidders at the trustee auction must make cashier’s checks payable to WT Capital. Third party cashier’s checks will not be accepted.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Farrant Frazier in the Superior Court of California, County of FRESNO.
The Petition for Probate requests that Farrant Frazier be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows:
January 26, 2026, 9:00 a.m., Dept.: 402
1130 “O” Street
Fresno, California 93721
Probate
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
