Case Notes

Content of Notice.

Reading § 18-50-104 and this section together, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Arkansas, Texarkana Division, concluded that the notice that must be published in the newspaper, at the county courthouse, and on the internet is the notice of default and intention to sell and, therefore, must contain a legal description of the trust property and, if applicable, the street address of the property. In re Gatlin, 357 B.R. 519 (Bankr. W.D. Ark. 2006).
