Nick Reiner's attorneys have petitioned a California court to grant him access to his parents' trust fund. The request comes after a judge blocked the funds under the 'slayer statute,' which prevents beneficiaries from inheriting if they are convicted of killing the person who created the trust.
The court has postponed a hearing on the matter until October. According to NBC Los Angeles and Reuters, a judge will consider the request later this year.
