Nick Reiner’s Trust Called the Payout ‘Mandatory and Unconditional’ — It Was Never Paid

The language in Nick Reiner’s trust reportedly leaves no room for interpretation. Half of the fund was due on his thirtieth birthday. The trust itself calls it “mandatory and unconditional.” That birthday was September 14th, 2023 — more than two years before Rob and Michele Reiner were killed. Nick has pleaded not guilty to both counts of murder. And the money his parents’ own trust document said he was owed has never been paid.Everyone citing California’s slayer statute assumes it settles this. It doesn’t — not the way most people think. Eric Faddis explains the two critical distinctions: a probate judge can strip a beneficiary on a “more likely than not” finding without waiting for a criminal conviction — the same mechanism that took Scott Peterson’s claim to Laci’s life insurance. But a rule designed to prevent someone from profiting through a killing may never reach money that allegedly belonged to Nick before anyone died. The age-thirty distribution is not an inheritance. It’s an overdue obligation.Faddis maps every pot of money in play: the overdue age-thirty payout where the law reportedly leans somewhere most people won’t like, the age-thirty-five money Nick wants released early, and the larger Reiner family trusts reportedly frozen until a verdict. He explains what the incoming trustee Jodi Montgomery — known for managing Britney Spears’ conservatorship — can and cannot do, and gives his six-month prediction on where each dollar lands. The episode also covers Alex Murdaugh’s retrial and the reported history between the newly assigned judge and the defense attorney.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
