Pulitzer Estate Appraisal Disputed by Surrogate Cohalan
Surrogate Cohalan rejected the state taxed appraisal of Joseph Pulitzer estate holdings in The World and The St. Louis Post-Dispatch as grossly undervalued, alleging misprotection of state interests. Berry’s appraisal valued the estate at 18.5 million with key holdings in Press Publishing and Pulitzer Publishing, but Cohalan argued earnings-based values suggest much higher totals. He criticized evidence and noted potential undervaluation of stock in Associated Press and related entities. The dispute follows a November 21 filing.
