If a court finds that Nick Reiner feloniously and intentionally killed his parents, California’s reported Slayer Statute may bar him from receiving inheritance or other benefits tied to their deaths. But the criminal case was pending as of October 8, 2026, and a separate dispute over a trust payment he says was due before his parents died had not been decided. Those are distinct legal questions.
What California’s Slayer Statute could mean
California’s reported Slayer Statute can prevent a person from receiving property or benefits after they feloniously and intentionally kill the person who created a trust or otherwise provided the benefit. Reporting on the statute says a criminal conviction is conclusive evidence for this purpose. It also says a probate court may make its own determination, without a criminal conviction, using a preponderance-of-the-evidence standard. Reporting on California’s Slayer Statute
That means a conviction is not the only possible route to a disqualification. It also does not mean that the allegations against Reiner have been proved: the criminal case and any probate determination are separate proceedings.
Where the criminal case stood
On September 15, 2026, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office reported that Reiner had been indicted on two murder counts, with special-circumstance allegations involving multiple murders and lying in wait, as well as a separate allegation that he personally used a knife. He had pleaded not guilty. The office said that if convicted as charged, he faced life in prison without the possibility of parole. It emphasized: “The charges filed in this case are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.” Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, September 15, 2026

Why the $558,000 trust claim is a separate question
A September 22, 2026 Los Angeles Times report said Reiner asked a judge to release $558,000 from a trust. He argued that the payment was due when he turned 30 in September 2023, before his parents died. The trust successor argued that the Slayer Statute barred access. Los Angeles Times, September 22, 2026
The report distinguishes this trust from the larger family trusts holding the parents’ estate assets and inheritances for their children. Whether someone can inherit from a parent after an intentional killing is therefore not necessarily the same issue as whether a previously scheduled payment remains payable under the terms of a separate trust. The trust document and the probate court’s findings matter; the available reporting does not establish the final outcome of this claim.

As of October 8, 2026, Reiner’s criminal case was pending, and the Los Angeles Times reported that the trust request was set for a hearing on October 23, 2026. That hearing date was still in the future. No outcome on the trust dispute had been reported by that point.
