Nick Reiner’s lawyers asked a Los Angeles court to access a roughly $1.5 million trust set up by his parents to fund his legal defense in the murder case against them; a trustee previously blocked distributions, arguing the funds remain property of the trust, and Judge Ruben Garcia scheduled an October 23 hearing on the issue, with a September 15 court date also looming for the criminal case and Reiner facing a new lying-in-wait charge as the defense argues time to prepare is running out.
In Los Angeles, 32-year-old Nick Reiner, charged with murdering his parents, is arguing that he should access the roughly $1.63 million set aside for him in a trust created by his parents. A probate trustee disclosed that about $200,000 of the trust has been spent so far, including undisclosed amounts for his previous defense attorney; his attorney previously resigned but could rejoin the case if finances are resolved. A trustee opposes further withdrawals under California's Slayer statute, which bars killers from benefiting from their crimes. Reiner’s team contends he’s entitled to the funds since he hasn’t been convicted, and the judge did not rule on the matter, scheduling another hearing for Oct. 23.
Nick Reiner has already spent about $200,000 on lawyers in a civil probate dispute over access to a $1.5 million trust left by his parents, a matter separate from his murder case for allegedly stabbing them.

Nick Reiner, awaiting trial for the December killings of his parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, is in probate court seeking $558,000 from his trust to fund his defense.

The trust has changed managers, and while a murder trial date hasn’t been set, September hearings are planned.
Nick Reiner, the son of Rob and Michele Reiner, has been indicted for the December 2025 stabbing deaths of his parents in Brentwood, adding a new ‘lying in wait’ charge that could make him eligible for the death penalty or life without parole. Prosecutors say he used a knife, and Nick has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder with a weapon enhancement; a Sept. 15 pretrial hearing is set.
