Escrow & Title

Nebraska's Torrens system (certificate of title) for recording property ownership, if available, differs from the traditional recording system in that:

AIt offers no protection against prior claims
BThe state guarantees the registered title, providing a higher level of certainty than the recording system✓ Correct
CTransfers do not require any documentation
DIt is only used for agricultural land in Nebraska

Explanation

Under a Torrens (certificate of title) system, the state guarantees the registered owner's title against all prior claims. Nebraska's recording system relies on constructive notice but does not guarantee title — that's title insurance's role.
