Nick Reiner‘s access to his family trust fund has been blocked as he awaits trial in connection with the deaths of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.
According to an exclusive report from People, the trustees overseeing Reiner’s trust have opposed his request to receive money from the fund, citing California’s so-called “slayer statute.” Reiner, 32, had petitioned the court for access to what he says is more than $1.5 million in the trust, including money he says was supposed to be distributed to him when he turned 30.
Reiner wanted the funds to help cover legal expenses and commissary costs, including basic necessities while he remains behind bars. The trustees are arguing that no distribution should be made until the court determines whether California’s slayer statute applies. The law generally prevents someone from inheriting money or property from a person they have “feloniously and intentionally” killed.
Reiner has been accused of killing his parents, who established the trust in his name in 1993. He has pleaded not guilty and has not been convicted of the killings. His attorney, Anita P. Wu, pushed back on the trustees’ position, telling The New York Times, “The slayer statute requires a determination, not a mere accusation. Nick is presumed innocent and has been convicted of nothing.”

If the statute ultimately applies, the trust’s assets could instead pass to Reiner’s siblings, Jake and Romy, according to court filings.
Reiner was recently indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with his parents’ December 2025 deaths. The new indictment also includes an alleged special circumstance of lying in wait, as well as an allegation involving the use of a knife.
For now, the dispute over the trust fund is another legal battle unfolding alongside the criminal case. Reiner is scheduled to return to court for a pretrial hearing on Sept. 15.
