Open oral bidding (auction) will be conducted until the highest net bidder is determined. The oral bid, to be acceptable, must be put in writing and the appropriate deposit presented. Sealed bids with deposit may be submitted on forms provided by the Public Administrator/Public Guardian in advance of the sale time and date, but are not required if you attend the auction. The Public Administrator/Public Guardian reserves the right to refuse any and all bids.

Minimum deposit is payable only by cashier's check made payable to the buyer. Bidders will be required to show that they have the required deposit with them to qualify as valid bidders.

In some instances, due to typographical errors, minimum bid dollar amounts may be incorrectly stated in our publications. The Public Administrator/Public Guardian reserves the right to correct these errors by verbally announcing at the time of the auction correct minimum bid for any parcel or property listed on this auction flyer.

Sale is not contingent upon the buyer obtaining financing. Buyer must arrange for and pay all costs pertaining to financing, including assignments, assumption fees, transfer fees and points. Terms of sale are cash to the estate.

Property will be sold "AS IS" with no representations nor warranties expressed or implied being made as to the condition of the property or the title thereto. Seller assumes no responsibility nor liability for any patent or latent defects, which may hereafter, be ascertained. No termite clearance is given. Buyers are responsible for ascertaining the zoning for each parcel.

In the event a bid is not accepted at the above time and date, the time to present sealed bids will be extended until 12:00 noon the following Thursday. At that time, open oral bidding will be conducted with the Public Administrator/Public Guardian reserving the right to reject any or all bids. Bidders will be registered from 12:00 noon until 12:30 PM. Additional bidders will not be allowed entry after 12:30 PM. If the property is not then sold, this procedure will be continued every Thursday until the property is sold or court disposition made.

Most sales will be confirmed in Probate Court and are subject to overbidding at that time. (California Probate Code Section 10310-10313) Any exceptions to the overbid requirement will be announced at the Auction sale. The sale shall be subject to an escrow of 55 days or less. PURSUANT TO PROBATE CODE SECTION 10350, FAILURE TO CLOSE ESCROW WILL RESULT IN BUYER BEING LIABLE FOR EXPENSES INCURRED IN RESALE AND THE DEFICIENCY SHOULD PROPERTY BE RESOLD FOR A LESSER AMOUNT.
