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 contacting 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 800-280-2832 or visit this internet website www.Auction.com, using the file number assigned to  this case CA2600294531 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 Website. The best way to verify  postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction if conducted after January 1,  2021, 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 the trustee sale, you can call 855-976-3916, or visit this internet website  https://www.auction.com/sb1079, using the file number assigned to this case CA2600294531 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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 the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid.

ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
ROBERT SHAUN PIELE, aka SHAUN PIELE
CASE NO: 26PR00656
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of ROBERT SHAUN PIELE, aka SHAUN PIELE
A Petition for Probate has been filed by CLAUDIA HASH in the Superior Court of California, County of FRESNO.
The Petition for Probate requests that CLAUDIA HASH 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:
September 28, 2026, 9:00 am, Dept.: 402
1130 O Street
Fresno, California 93724
B.F. Sisk Courthouse
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.
