In Louisiana, a real estate contract clause that states 'Seller to provide clear title' means the seller must:

Explanation
A clear title obligation requires the seller to deliver marketable title — free from liens, encumbrances, and other claims not agreed to by the buyer. This typically means paying off mortgages, resolving judgment liens, and addressing any title defects from the sale proceeds.
