Quick Summary

Nick Reiner, currently incarcerated since December 2025 in Los Angeles, claims he has not received any money from a $1.6 million family trust established by his parents. His lawyers Anita P. Wu and Geoffrey A. Neri argue that despite Nick’s right to access the trust upon turning 30 on September 14, 2023, successor trustee Jodi Pais Montgomery and former trustee Paul R. Kanin have blocked his requests due to California's "slayer statute." The lawyers contend this statute no longer applies to funds accumulated before his parents' deaths and that withholding the money prevents Nick from hiring new defense counsel.

Story summary

Nick Reiner, who has been in jail since December 2025 without bail at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles, California, claims he cannot access his share of a $1.6 million trust established by his parents. His attorneys, Anita P. Wu and Geoffrey A. Neri, argue that Reiner has been unable to receive even $5 from the trust, preventing him from purchasing basic necessities through the jail commissary. They assert that according to the "Age-30 Distribution" provision of the "Nick Reiner Children’s Trust Dated December 2, 1993," Reiner was entitled to a payment of at least $558,000 when he turned 30 on September 14, 2023. The attorneys also contend that delays in accessing the funds have hindered his ability to retain new criminal defense counsel. Successor trustee Jodi Pais Montgomery and former trustee Paul R. Kanin are opposing these claims.
