NRS 113.040 - Rights and duties under contract for purchase and sale of real property when property destroyed.

Any contract made in this state after July 1, 1977, for the purchase and sale of real property shall be interpreted as including an agreement that the parties shall have the following rights and duties, unless the contract expressly provides otherwise:
1. If, when neither the legal title nor possession of the subject matter of the contract has been transferred, all or a material part of the subject matter is destroyed without fault of the purchaser or is taken by eminent domain, the vendor cannot enforce the contract and the purchaser is entitled to recover any portion of the price that the purchaser has paid.
2. If, when either the legal title or the possession of the subject matter of the contract has been transferred, all or any part of the subject matter is destroyed without fault of the vendor or is taken by eminent domain, the purchaser is not thereby relieved of a duty to pay the price nor is the purchaser entitled to recover any portion of the price which the purchaser has paid.
