Nick Reiner, the son of Rob and Michele Reiner, is in prison and facing trial for the murder of his parents. He is in desperate need of funds to hire an attorney for his defense. His parents set up a trust in 1993 that may provide for attorney's fees. In addition, should he be found guilty, he will not inherit from his parents under California law. All states have similar laws that do not allow a murderer to benefit from a victim. This is an interesting case at the intersection of Estate Planning and Criminal Law.
