Nick Reiner says he’s seen no funds from $1.6M family trust amid murder case

Nick Reiner, the sole beneficiary of a roughly $1.6 million family trust set up by his parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, says he hasn’t received any funds from the trust—even as he awaits trial for his parents’ murders—despite the trust’s Age-30 Distribution that would have paid him at least $558,000 when he turned 30. His attorneys contend the money is needed for basic commissary purchases and to hire new defense counsel, but trustees and California’s Slayer statute have blocked access, with the funds potentially being redirected to his siblings as court decisions weigh the arrangement.

Nick Reiner seeks to unlock $1.5M trust to fund defense in parents' murder case

Nick Reiner has filed a petition in Los Angeles to access more than $1.5 million held in a trust his parents left for him, arguing the funds are legally required to be distributed at ages 30 and 35 and are needed to pay for his defense in his parents’ double homicide case. The trust is separate from a larger family estate, and Nick, who has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder, has been unable to fund attorneys or jail commissary, having shifted from a private attorney to a public defender after an initial withdrawal. His lawyers contend withholding the money would be an abuse of the trustee’s discretion and leave him unable to mount a proper defense.
