I recently sat down with&nbsp;<a href="https://people.com/nick-reiner-inheritance-potentially-impacted-by-california-slayer-statue-legal-experts-exclusive-11870584">People Magazine</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.blankrome.com/sites/default/files/2025-12/Weissbard%20ET%201.mp4">Entertainment Tonight</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://wgnradio.com/wgn-plus/legal-face-off/allred-on-epstein-survivors-weissbart-on-nick-reiners-inheritance-favre-on-tuckers-custody-battle-fretzin-on-podcasts-as-a-growth-strategy-and-much-more/">WGN Radio</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://abc7.com/post/rob-reiner-death-could-nick-receive-inheritance-parents-murders/18299325/">ABC Eyewitness News</a>&nbsp;to answer this question: What happens to Nick Reiner’s inheritance?&nbsp;California has a “Slayer Statute” that deprives a murderer of inheriting under a Will or Trust created by their victim. If Nick Reiner is convicted of the crime he has been charged of—two counts of first-degree murder related to the death of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner—he will be treated as predeceasing both of his parents and cut out of their estate.&nbsp;He’ll also be ineligible to serve as an Executor or Trustee.

core/paragraph

What would happen to Nick’s share of the inheritance?&nbsp;Neither Rob’s nor Michele’s estate planning documents are publicly available, but the most likely outcome is that Nick’s siblings will receive his share of the estate.&nbsp;Rob had an adopted daughter (the biological child of his first wife) in addition to the two children (other than Nick) that he shared with Michele, so if Nick is cut out, the estate would likely be divided two or three ways.
