Nick Reiner, who awaits trial over the deaths of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, has been denied access to money from a family trust. The trustees overseeing the fund have reportedly opposed his request to receive money for legal expenses and commissary costs, highlighting California's so-called “slayer statute.” The 32-year-old sought court approval in June to obtain funds from a trust his parents established in his name in 1993. In his petition, he alleged that the trust is worth more than $1.5 million and argued that a portion of it should have been distributed to him after he turned 30. Why trustees rejected his request The dispute is around whether Reiner can receive money from a trust established by the very people whose deaths he is accused of causing. Paul Kanin and Jodi Pais Montgomery, the previous and incoming fiduciaries overseeing the trust, have objected to releasing the funds while the criminal case remains unresolved. Also Read: Rob Reiner death case: Nick Reiner pleads not guilty in parents’ murder Their position relies on California's “slayer statute,” which can prevent a person from receiving an inheritance, property or trust assets from someone they have “feloniously and intentionally” killed.
