Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a co-op estate appraisal different from a condo appraisal?

Co-ops convey shares and a proprietary lease, not a deed to real property in the same way as a condo. Value analysis must address maintenance, underlying mortgage, flip taxes, sublet policies, and building financials.

What documents help a Manhattan co-op estate appraisal?

Recent financial statements, proprietary lease excerpts, house rules, flip-tax policy, and any board package materials (when available) help support a credible retrospective opinion.

Can you value a co-op as of a past date of death?

Yes. Retrospective co-op appraisals use sales and market evidence available as of the effective date, with appropriate building-level adjustments.

Do Surrogate's Court and estate counsel accept your co-op reports?

We prepare USPAP-compliant reports for estate attorneys and fiduciaries. Madison & Park is on the Court Approved Appraiser List in New York and also accepts private retainers.

How long does a co-op estate appraisal take?

Typical turnaround is 5–10 business days; complex buildings or older effective dates may require additional research time.

Do you also appraise condos and townhouses for estates?

Yes. See our Manhattan Estate Appraisal page for the broader Manhattan estate practice.
