Knoxville Community Bulletin: Legal and Public Notices for the Week of August 12, 2024
In Knoxville, various important legal and public notices have been released this week, affecting local residents and businesses. Residents are encouraged to pay close attention to these announcements to stay informed on community matters that may directly impact them.
Foreclosure Notices
One of the significant notices this week includes a Trustee’s Notice of Foreclosure Sale for a property on Ellis Lane. The property belongs to Travis Lewelling and Shellby Johnson, who defaulted on their mortgage. The property will be sold on August 15, 2024, at 11:00 AM at the City/County Building in Knoxville. Bidders interested in purchasing the property are reminded to arrive on time as it will be sold to the highest bidder.
Non-Resident Notices
Several non-resident notices were issued for individuals who need to respond to court proceedings. Brittany Danielle Sellers has been called to respond in a custody case involving her daughter. Failure to respond may result in a default judgment against her. Other cases include notices for Erick Jonas Duron Avila and Efrem Howell, who also have pending matters before the Chancery Court of Knox County.
Additions to this list include a notice for Myra King, involving an adoption petition, and numerous others that highlight the ongoing legal proceedings involving non-residents.
Notices for Creditors
Numerous estates have been settled in Knox County, prompting notices to creditors. Estates such as those of Horace Lee Ballard, Chad Austin Bottiger, and Maurine Britt have all issued notices requiring any creditors to file their claims within specific timeframes. For example, creditors with claims against the estate of Horace Lee Ballard must submit any claims within four months from today’s date, or twelve months from the date of the decedent’s death.
Another prominent case is that of Sharon Lynn Melton, whose estate has also sent notices out to creditors, stipulating that claims must be filed promptly as required by law.
Adoption Proceedings
Adoption cases were noted in the recent announcement as well. Individuals like Jordan Malik Mays and Justin Mincey are urged to respond regarding the adoption of their children. The court is ready to hear cases, and non-responses will lead to default rulings which could potentially terminate parental rights without further notice.
Community Support Initiatives
Additionally, the Knoxville community saw a recent financial boost as the Knoxville Track and Field Club and Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon came together to donate $15,000 to local community partners. This generous contribution aims to support community initiatives and foster local development, with various organizations set to benefit from this funding.
New Developments in Local Sports
In sports news, a new skipper for the West program is making headlines as he aims to build a stronger team culture and enhance player performance. The excitement around this news has drawn attention from families and athletes alike, fostering a vibrant local sports scene.
Conclusion
The Knoxville community is constantly evolving, with legal, social, and sports-oriented matters contributing to an engaging and active environment. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through public notices, especially concerning legal proceedings and community initiatives, to fully understand how these changes might affect them.
As always, it’s essential for everyday citizens to stay aware and engage with local announcements to uphold their rights and responsibilities as part of the Knoxville community.
