Missing Heirs and Mental Illness: The Bizarre Case of Letitia James’s Father’s Estate
Gateway Pundit ^ | 5-9-25 | Joel Gilbert

Posted on 05/09/2025 7:03:27 AM PDT by dynachrome

New York Attorney General Letitia James has long portrayed herself as a crusader for justice, particularly when it comes to holding powerful figures accountable for financial misconduct.

But a closer examination of the estate of her late father, Robert James, reveals a disturbing and ironic tale of legal manipulation, family dysfunction, and possible fraud – with Letitia James herself at the center.

In 1983, three years before Robert James’s death in 1986, Letitia James was just 24 years old and living at her family’s two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn with seven siblings. She had not yet entered law school.

That’s when she and her father, Robert James, applied for a mortgage loan to purchase a small home at 114-04 Inwood Street in Queens as “husband and wife.”

This level of self-representation is rare in estate matters, especially when the filer is a licensed attorney and public official.

It also meant that Letitia, being both heir and administrator, faced no legal cross-examination about the estate’s inconsistencies.

The Robert James estate filings reveal a fractured family dynamic. Letitia James stated that two of her siblings – Alberta and Marsha James – were “missing”. The two missing sisters were listed with their whereabouts as “unknown”.

Mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and certain mood disorders have hereditary components.

"Though not determinative of her own mental health, if three siblings were affected, this could indicate James has a strong familial predisposition to mental illness herself."

this case just keeps getting more bizarre.

I have dealt with schizophrenia in a family member . Later diagnosed as on the schizo scale.

I find it very very hard to believe that an untreated schizo could reliably live in that apartment by himself and not be a danger to himself or others ...or that as an attorney she did not seek help. Did she get legal power over him?

And why wait so long to deal with fathers estate?

And where is everyone now?

The author asks at the end: “When will Leticia James resign?”

Now that there is funny.

So Letitia James hadn’t entered law school at the time, yet was a licensed attorney and public official for purposes of making her look even worse than she is. Playing this sort of anachronism game undermines the author’s credibility.

she wasnt a lawyer at that time. Law school is typically three years but you can do it faster.

What I can’t understand is 10 people living in 888 square feet. This is like people lived during the depression but I am not used to New York standards where people live in tiny tiny apartments and pay crazy rent

so why wasnt Nellie listed as wife? Bad credit? In a mental hospital?

The mortgage dates from 1983. The estate’s legal paperwork that she prepared dates from 1999. That part is consistent.

The part that the GP author didn’t explore deeper is that it appears she took over the estate and effective cut off all of her 7 siblings from receiving any benefits. I suppose you could argue that it was indeed hers alone (thanks to being named on the mortgage) once her father/”husband” passed, but of course none of that seems to have been a subject of probate.

Get a load of the mortgage company - Kadilak. What, they can’t spell Cadillac? And they used a P.O. Box address instead of a street address. Red flags all over this thing.

I can see it now: a drive-by mortgage ‘company’

(Better check on that deed while we’re at it!)

“So Letitia James hadn’t entered law school at the time, yet was a licensed attorney and public official for purposes of making her look even worse than she is. Playing this sort of anachronism game undermines the author’s credibility.”


The sentences you quote are in different sections of the article.

According to public information, James received her J.D. in 1987 and was admitted to practice in NY in 1989. When she purchased the property with her father listed as her husband in 1983, she had not yet completed law school.

At the time she filed for letters of administration, she HAD completed law school. It’s strange that she waited over 10 years to start the probate of his estate and did not hire an estate lawyer to do so.

From the article:

“Though Robert James died in 1986, it wasn’t until 1999 that Letitia James filed for letters of administration over his estate. The Inwood Street house she purchased with her father was listed as the only asset.”

It crossed my mind that maybe there are 10 years of SS checks that were cashed after father/husband died?
