Nick Reiner hasn't received 'even $5' from $1.6M trust, lawyers claim
Page Six • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Nick Reiner, awaiting trial for the murder of his parents, has not received any funds from a family trust worth approximately $1.6 million, despite being its sole beneficiary.
- His attorneys argue that Nick was entitled to a substantial payment from the trust upon turning 30 in September 2023, but access has been blocked due to the application of California’s "slayer statute."
- The "slayer statute" prevents beneficiaries from inheriting from someone they are accused of killing, but Nick’s lawyers contend it should not apply to funds that became his before his parents' deaths.
- Trustees have refused to release the funds, with one attorney stating that giving Nick access now would be “irreversible,” and suggest the money should instead go to his siblings.
- Nick has been held without bail since December 2025, and his trial is ongoing; none of his family members were present at a recent court appearance.
