Contracts

If a seller fails to deliver title to a buyer at closing without legal justification, the buyer's remedy of 'specific performance' means:

AThe buyer accepts money damages in lieu of the property
BThe court orders the seller to complete the sale and deliver title✓ Correct
CThe contract is rescinded and earnest money returned
DThe buyer takes possession without formal transfer of title

Explanation

Specific performance is a court-ordered remedy requiring the breaching party to fulfill their contractual obligations. In real estate, where each property is considered unique, courts may order a seller to complete the sale and convey title rather than simply awarding money damages.
