Title & Closing Support for King and Bear Homes
King and Bear is a gated enclave within World Golf Village, built around the only Florida course co-designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus together. Homes here run well above the broader World Golf Village median, with larger custom and semi-custom estates on golf-front and preserve lots.
Like most of World Golf Village, King and Bear properties typically carry a Community Development District assessment on the St. Johns County tax bill in addition to association dues, and Florida law requires that CDD status be disclosed in the sale contract.
Title Company of Florida confirms CDD and association status at file opening, orders estoppels promptly, and reconciles assessments against the contract before closing figures are finalized.

Title Insurance & Escrow for King and Bear Properties
As the King and Bear title company of record, we order and review each policy before closing.
Owner’s & Lender’s Title Insurance
We coordinate eligible owner’s and lender’s title insurance policies according to Florida requirements and applicable underwriting guidelines.
Owner’s coverage for King and Bear’s larger estate homes should reflect the full purchase price, and we review available endorsements with the buyer before closing.
An owner’s policy protects the insured buyer’s ownership interest against certain covered title risks. A lender’s policy protects the insured mortgage lender’s interest. They are separate policies with separate insureds.
Title Search and Examination
Our team reviews available public records for matters that may affect the proposed transaction, including mortgages, liens, judgments, prior deeds, easements, recorded restrictions, and association declarations.
The search covers the World Golf Village master declaration, the King and Bear supplemental declaration, and recorded CDD documents affecting the parcel.
The title examiner and underwriter determine what requirements apply before proposed title coverage is issued.
Secure Escrow Coordination
For eligible transactions, we coordinate earnest money, buyer funds, lender proceeds, mortgage payoffs, association payoffs, and authorized disbursements according to the contract and applicable closing instructions. Wire instructions are always verified by phone with our office; we never change wiring instructions by email.
King and Bear Closing Considerations
CDD assessments, golf-course easements, and a gated setting shape most King and Bear closings.
CDD Assessments
World Golf Village properties, including King and Bear, typically carry a Community Development District assessment in addition to HOA dues.
We confirm the parcel’s current assessment status and how it is prorated at closing so buyers know the real annual carrying cost.
Association Estoppels
King and Bear homes are governed by a community association within the larger World Golf Village structure.
We request estoppels at file opening and reconcile dues, assessments, and transfer fees with the contract.
Golf Course and Preserve Easements
Homes bordering the fairways or preserve areas may be subject to golf-course or conservation easements shown on the plat.
Reviewing the survey against the title commitment exceptions helps buyers understand what limits apply to the lot.
Gated Access
Entry to King and Bear is controlled at a gate.
We coordinate guest access in advance for appraisers, inspectors, and mobile signings.
Trust and Entity Ownership
Many King and Bear estate homes are held in trusts or LLCs.
Underwriters typically require trustee certifications or entity authorization documents, which we request early in the file.

Why King and Bear Agents, Lenders, Buyers & Sellers Choose Title Company of Florida
King and Bear closings run smoothly when CDD status, association estoppels, and golf-course easements are identified from day one.
Local Northeast Florida Team
Title Company of Florida is based in Jacksonville and closes transactions across Duval, St. Johns, Nassau, and Clay counties every week.
Early Association & Payoff Requests
Estoppels, payoffs, and lender conditions are requested at file opening, not the week of closing, so surprises surface while there is still time to resolve them.
Experience With Higher-Value Transactions
Larger loan amounts, jumbo lender conditions, trust and LLC ownership, and cash purchases each add requirements. Our team coordinates them as part of the normal workflow.
