Contracts
A Nebraska seller who accepts an offer and then discovers they cannot obtain clear title may:
AKeep the earnest money and cancel the deal
BFace a breach of contract claim unless the contract contains an applicable contingency allowing cancellation✓ Correct
CAutomatically be released from all obligations
DDemand the buyer purchase title insurance instead
Explanation
If the contract doesn't include a specific title contingency releasing the seller, an inability to provide clear title could be a breach of contract. Many contracts include title contingency clauses to address this scenario.
