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 Release of Family Trust Funds to Back His Defense

In new civil court filings, jailed Nick Reiner pushes for access to roughly $1.6 million in his family trust to fund his criminal defense for the alleged double homicide of his parents, arguing that at least $325,000 of the disputed funds come from his grandfather Carl Reiner and should be his personal assets not withheld by trustees under California’s Slayer Statute. His team says the trustees have already spent more than $250,000 of his trust on defense fees and that he has not received any money for basic needs, with plans to rehire star attorney Alan Jackson after funding concerns delayed prior counsel; prosecutors have said they would not seek the death penalty after consulting his siblings.

Trust funds in play as Nick Reiner fights access in parents' murder case

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.
