The Slayer Statute is supposed to be simple. You kill someone, you don't inherit from them. But California law has language that creates an exception — and a 1979 case proves it works.Estate of Ladd involved a mother who killed her two sons. She was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Her ex-husband argued she should be barred from inheriting under the Slayer Statute. The California Court of Appeal disagreed. The ruling: an NGRI verdict does not constitute a conviction, and insanity negates the "intentional" requirement in Probate Code Section 250. She inherited from the children she killed.That precedent has never been overturned. And it applies directly to Nick Reiner.Rob and Michele Reiner's estate is worth an estimated $200 million. Castle Rock Entertainment. Seinfeld royalties. Malibu real estate. Four children stand to inherit. If the estate is divided equally, Nick's share could be around $50 million.A conviction automatically bars him. But if Nick gets an NGRI verdict — which legal analysts say is the most likely defense strategy — he may still be entitled to that inheritance under existing California law.His siblings Jake and Romy would have the option to challenge it in probate court. But they'd have to initiate the lawsuit themselves. They'd carry the burden of proving intent. And they'd be arguing against a criminal verdict that already found Nick lacked the mental capacity to act intentionally.This is the financial reality behind the Reiner case. The loophole. The precedent. And the incentive structure nobody's discussing.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #SlayerStatute #InsanityDefense #Inheritance #TrueCrimeToday #CaliforniaLaw #EstateOfLadd #LegalLoopholeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
In 1975, a woman named Gloria Ladd killed her two teenage sons. Drugged them. Smothered them. She was charged with murder, pled insanity, and was committed to a state hospital. Then she inherited their money.The California Court of Appeal ruled that an insanity verdict does not trigger the Slayer Statute — the law designed to prevent killers from profiting off their crimes. The statute requires proof of "intentional" killing. Insanity negates intent. Gloria Ladd inherited from the sons she murdered. That case, Estate of Ladd, is from 1979. It's still good law. It's never been overruled.Now apply that to the Reiner case.Rob and Michele Reiner's estate is estimated at $200 million. Nick Reiner is charged with their murders. His former attorney declared him "not guilty of murder" under California law. Legal analysts expect an insanity defense. If Nick is found NGRI, he may still be entitled to inherit — potentially $50 million or more, depending on the estate plan.The only way to stop it? Jake and Romy Reiner would have to sue their own brother in probate court. They'd carry the burden of proving Nick acted intentionally — against an NGRI verdict that already found he lacked the capacity to form intent. They'd relive their parents' deaths in civil litigation while their brother potentially collects his share.That's the position California law creates. A 45-year-old loophole. A $200 million estate. And an impossible choice for the surviving family.This episode breaks down the legal mechanics, the precedent, and the financial incentive structure behind the insanity defense that nobody wants to talk about.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #SlayerStatute #EstateOfLadd #InsanityDefense #CaliforniaLaw #Inheritance #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Estate planning is one of those things most of us know we should do but avoid anyway. In this episode, we sit down with trust and estate strategist Robin Ingber to break it down in a way that actually makes sense. We talk about the real differences between wills and trusts, why planning for incapacity matters just as much as planning for death, and how having a plan in place is really about protecting the people you love and making their lives easier. Robin keeps the conversation practical, relatable, and even a little funny while clearing up the myth that estate planning is only for the wealthy. If you have been putting this off or have no idea where to start, this episode is a great first step. Let's dive in!

Which one makes more money sense? Smashing down your mortgage faster, or putting that money to work in shares? This week’s Friday Drinks opens with one of the most divisive money questions we get, and Victoria gets very honest about how she approaches it in her own life. She walks through what she prioritises when building wealth, the maths she actually uses to make sure every dollar is working it's hardest for her, and why the answer that feels obvious, isn’t always the one that makes you richer. Then things get spicy. Like, properly spicy. A community member slid into our DMs convinced her late father-in-law’s partner is lying about his will and the real cost of the funeral. We unpack what really happens when someone dies without a will, where money goes first, how estates are handled, and what to do when your gut says something’s off but the situation is already emotionally loaded. And because it's Friday we’ve got all the usual fun and chaos you love to start the weekend the right.FURTHER LISTENING: What happens to your money when you die?

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have accused his estate and its attorneys — including the estate's executors who handled his financial and legal affairs after his death — of engaging in aggressive tactics aimed at intimidating, belittling, and discouraging survivors from pursuing their claims rather than supporting accountability and transparency. According to media and survivor advocates, lawyers working on behalf of the estate used procedural maneuvers, confrontational language, and dismissive strategies in responses to civil claims, effectively positioning survivors as nuisances rather than victims seeking justice. These actions included challenging every substantive point of survivors' lawsuits, minimizing the legitimacy of their accounts, and attempting to undercut their credibility in court filings and negotiations, conduct critics describe as reflective of a defensive, bullying posture rather than a genuine engagement with victims' harm.Critics argue that such behavior from the estate — which controlled Epstein's remaining assets and influence — perpetuated the same power imbalances that enabled his abuse in the first place, making survivors relive trauma through hostile legal processes instead of offering redress or empathy. Rather than facilitating meaningful resolution, the estate's tactics have been portrayed by survivors and advocates as attempts to protect the interests of Epstein's financial legacy and minimize payouts, even while victims sought recognition of the scale and severity of the crimes committed against them. This conduct has fueled broader outrage about how institutions linked to Epstein have treated survivors, reinforcing perceptions that the justice system and powerful interests are still aligned against those who were harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Vivian Tu, aka Your Rich BFF, is back on Not Alone to talk about her new book, Well Endowed, and what it really means to build a life that's financially aligned, intentional, and values-driven. In this conversation, Valeria and Vivian break down the idea of “optimization” in everyday life, from money habits shaped by childhood lessons (including her now-famous Chinese buffet analogy) to understanding your personal value system and learning how to resist the constant pull of targeted marketing. They dive into media literacy, why spending money feels easier than ever, and how to decide what's truly worth it. Vivian also gets personal about building a strong financial foundation, getting financially honest with your partner, navigating prenups as a form of choice (not mistrust), and why women need to deeply understand their finances. The episode closes with a thoughtful look at teaching kids about money, estate planning basics, and how to leave behind more than just dollars - plus a peek at Vivian's new financial platform, Ask Dolly.

The conversation walks through the foundational ideas behind the book, beginning with retirement income styles and why there is no single “best” strategy for everyone. Wade explains the importance of aligning retirement income decisions with personal preferences, comfort with risk, and behavioral realities rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach. The discussion then expands into efficiency-focused retirement planning, highlighting practical ways retirees can improve outcomes through Social Security claiming decisions, tax planning, and organization for incapacity and estate planning. The episode concludes with a framework for understanding the three major risks retirees face: longevity risk, market risk, and spending shocks, as well as why planning becomes especially critical during the transition into retirement. Takeaways Retirement income planning does not have a single correct answer; multiple viable strategies exist, and the best choice depends on personal preferences and behavior. Understanding your retirement income style helps prioritize which strategies, tools, and chapters of the planning process deserve the most focus. Retirement efficiency means getting more after-tax spending power or legacy from the same set of assets, often by making better decisions rather than taking more risk. Social Security claiming decisions remain one of the most impactful and accessible efficiency opportunities for many retirees. Strategic tax planning, including Roth conversions, can create immediate and long-term benefits without requiring market forecasts. Organizing documents for incapacity and estate planning is a major but often overlooked source of efficiency with both financial and psychological benefits. Retirees face three primary categories of risk: longevity risk, market risk amplified by withdrawals, and unpredictable spending shocks. The years leading up to and immediately following retirement are a fragile transition period where early planning creates significantly more flexibility and better outcomes.

After 40 years, Roederer Estate, the Californian arm of Champagne Louis Roederer has really started to hit its stride. Arnaud Weyrich, SVP and Winemaker of Roederer Estate and Xavier Barlier, CMO of MMD USA, discuss its history, trajectory, and how Roederer Estate continues to create more reasons to believe in the brand and the wines.

The “Billion-Dollar Asset” That Still Had to Be Sold A story Bruce shares in our retirement class teaching always stops people in their tracks. A family inherited an NFL team worth just under a billion dollars. The asset was valuable. The legacy was real. But the planning wasn't there. When estate taxes came due, the heirs didn't have the liquidity to pay the bill. And because the wealth was tied up in an illiquid asset, they had to sell the team. https://www.youtube.com/live/6lCgo4y3LYs Most families will never own an NFL franchise. But plenty of families do own a business, a portfolio of real estate, land that's been in the family for generations, or investments that look substantial on paper but aren't easy to convert into cash quickly. And that's where this topic becomes personal: if you don't plan ahead, your family may be forced into decisions you never intended—simply to satisfy a tax obligation. This is why we're talking about how to avoid estate tax legally—so your wealth can serve your heirs and your purpose, not become a burden or a fire sale.

What You'll Learn About How to Avoid Estate Tax Legally If you've ever wondered, “Will my legacy go to my family…or to the IRS?” you're asking the right question. In this blog, we're going to walk you through the core ideas from our podcast episode on estate and inheritance taxes—what they are, how exemptions work, why the rules change, and what families can do now to protect generational wealth. You'll learn: The estate tax vs inheritance tax difference (and why it matters) How the federal estate tax exemption 2026 conversation impacts planning today Why a married couple's plan can change dramatically when one spouse dies How annual gifting works (and why people confuse it) When Form 709 may come into play Why estate liquidity planning can be the difference between preserving an asset and losing it How life insurance and trusts are commonly used to create options and control Quick note: we're not attorneys. We sit in these meetings with attorneys. We collaborate with estate planning professionals constantly. Our goal is to give you a clear framework so you can make wise decisions and ask better questions with your CPA and attorney. The Practical Building Blocks of Estate Tax Planning Estate Tax vs Inheritance Tax Difference: Start With the Right Definitions One of the biggest sources of confusion we see is people using “estate tax” and “inheritance tax” like they're interchangeable. They're not. Here's the simple distinction: Estate taxes are settled by the estate. The money comes out of the estate before everything is fully distributed. Inheritance taxes are settled by the beneficiaries. The tax bill is tied to what they receive. There's also the state-level reality: not every state has inheritance tax, and state estate taxes can be entirely different from federal rules. That's why one of the first questions we encourage families to answer is: “Which taxes apply in my state, and which apply federally?” When you get the definitions right, you avoid planning in the wrong direction. Federal Estate Tax Exemption 2026 and Why the Rules Don't Stay Put When we recorded this episode, we were in December 2025, and Congress had just changed a tax bill that was expected to sunset at the start of 2026. That shift is a perfect example of why families can't build a legacy plan on the assumption that today's rules will remain tomorrow's rules. Here's what matters more than any single number: tax law can change quickly, and thresholds can move. That's why planning is less about guessing the future and more about building a structure that is resilient no matter what Congress does next. Estate Tax Exemption 2025 vs 2026: Timing Matters A detail that surprises many families is that timing can change what exemption applies. If someone passes away in one year, that year's rules apply. If they pass away the next year, the next year's exemption applies. We don't control the timing of life. But we can control the readiness of our plan. Estate Tax Rate 40 Percent: The “One-Time Loss” That Creates Long-Term Damage A federal estate tax hit can be significant. In our conversation, we referenced how quickly the dollars add up when large estates exceed the exemption threshold. But the bigger point we want you to see is this: It's not just the dollars paid in tax once. It's the generational opportunity cost of losing that capital. When your family loses money to unnecessary taxes, your family also loses what that money could have produced across decades: businesses that could have been started real estate acquisitions that could have created cash flow education and training that could have expanded a child's capacity family philanthropy that could have multiplied impact economic stability that could have protected future generations Bruce tells clients: when the money is gone, you can't make money on that money anymore. That's not just a financial statement. It's a legacy statement. Why Do Estate Tax Planning Strategies Matter Even If You're Under the Exemption Today? This is where most families get lulled to sleep. They see a high exemption and think, “We don't need to worry about estate taxes.” Two realities can make that assumption dangerous: Exemptions can change Your plan changes when one spouse dies Estate Planning for Married Couples vs Surviving Spouse: The Quiet Shift Even if you don't consider yourself “ultra-wealthy,” your planning needs to account for the fact that most couples will not pass away at the same time. A couple may look comfortably under a combined exemption threshold—then one spouse dies and the surviving spouse's position changes. Planning that felt safe becomes exposed. We see this across many areas of tax planning, not just estate taxes. The financial world often treats “married” and “single” very differently. That's why it's so important to build your plan while you still have options, flexibility, and time. How to Avoid Estate Tax Legally With Annual Gifting One of the simplest tools families can use is consistent, intentional gifting. In our episode, we talked about an annual gifting amount of $19,000 per person, per recipient, per year. The specific number can change over time, so always confirm the current annual exclusion with your CPA. But the concept is what matters. Here's why annual gifting is so powerful: It reduces the size of your estate over time It can move assets into the next generation in a planned way It can be used to build capability, not entitlement—if you pair it with purpose and guidance Do I Have to Report Gifts Under 19,000? In many situations, gifts under the annual exclusion amount don't require filing a gift tax return. That's why families like it: it's simple and consistent. Where it gets complicated is when you go above the annual threshold. When Do You Have to File Form 709 Gift Tax Return? If you exceed the annual exclusion amount, you may need to file a gift tax return (often IRS Form 709). Filing doesn't necessarily mean you owe tax immediately. It can mean the gift is tracked against lifetime gifting limits. Your CPA is the right person to guide you on the reporting mechanics for your situation. The takeaway: gifting can be one of the cleanest ways to reduce your estate—especially when you do it proactively and consistently. Lifetime Gift Tax Exemption 2026: Larger Gifts and Long-Term Tracking Beyond annual gifting, there is typically a lifetime gifting framework that tracks larger transfers. This is where families often say, “I'm confused,” and they're not alone. The important part isn't memorizing every detail—it's understanding the two-tier structure: annual gifting can be simple and repeatable larger gifts may require reporting and coordination with lifetime limits Again, this is why we encourage families to coordinate with their CPA and estate planning attorney.

Heidi Whitney-Schile didn't set out to become a brilliant chef, but food and the love of cooking and baking started at a pretty young age and it continued through college (she cooked for her roommates) and she used cooking as therapy when she found herself in a job she didn't love. When a friend asked if she would bake a wedding cake, Heidi decided right then and there - if the cake was a hit, she would quit her job and go to culinary school. The cake was a hit. Over the next several years, Heidi had intentful culinary moves that she says helped her grow, learn, push her boundaries and comfort zone. She says one of her first chefs told her "there's no failing in the kitchen," and Heidi calls it "failing forward." She says every oops or wrong turn has always led to personal growth. She's currently the winery chef at Ambar Estate (the story of getting here is a good one) where she believes she's found her happy place.

Here's a question nobody's answering clearly: Can Nick Reiner — the man charged with murdering Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner — legally access their $200 million estate to pay for his defense?He has no money of his own. He wasn't employed. He was living in his parents' guesthouse. And now he's facing two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances, represented by a public defender who learned about the case the day before his arraignment.Three weeks ago, Nick had Alan Jackson — one of the highest-profile defense attorneys in the country. The family was reportedly footing the bill from the estate. Then Jackson withdrew. The family stopped paying. And nobody's explaining why.California's slayer statute is supposed to prevent this exact situation — you kill someone, you don't inherit from them. But the statute requires a finding of "intentional" killing. What if Nick mounts an insanity defense? What if he's found not guilty by reason of insanity? Does that change everything?We dig into the legal loophole that could theoretically preserve Nick's inheritance, explain why his siblings can block any distribution, and break down what it actually means to go from a $2,000-an-hour attorney to an overworked public defender in a capital-eligible case.The money is there. The question is whether Nick can ever touch it.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrimeToday #SlayerStatute #InsanityDefense #Parricide #TrueCrime #MurderCase #CriminalDefenseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Nick Reiner is broke. Unemployed. Sitting in jail charged with double murder. His parents — Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner — left behind an estate worth $200 million. And under California law, there may be a way he could still get his hands on it.Wait, what?The slayer statute is supposed to prevent killers from inheriting from their victims. But it only applies to "felonious and intentional" killings. What happens if Nick is found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity? What if a jury decides he couldn't form intent? Does the statute still apply?Estate lawyers say this is largely untested territory. And it raises an uncomfortable question: Was the insanity defense always about more than just avoiding prison?In this episode, we examine the legal mechanics that could allow Nick Reiner to challenge for his inheritance even after being charged with his parents' murders. We break down why the family reportedly hired a $2,000-an-hour attorney — then stopped paying. And we explain what it means that Nick is now represented by a public defender who had 24 hours to prepare for this case.The Reiner fortune is sitting there. The question is whether Nick has any path to it. The answer might surprise you.#NickReiner #RobReiner #ReinerCase #SlayerStatute #TrueCrime #InsanityDefense #CaliforniaLaw #Parricide #MurderTrial #HKLiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Breaking developments in the Nick Reiner case. The 32-year-old charged with murdering Rob and Michele Reiner has been removed from suicide watch at Twin Towers Correctional Facility, just one day before his scheduled arraignment. He remains in high-observation housing but is no longer considered at risk of self-harm. Meanwhile, questions mount about who is paying for his high-profile defense attorney Alan Jackson.Sources close to the Reiner family tell multiple outlets that estate money is funding Jackson's representation. Jackson reportedly charges upward of $2,000 per hour and his past cases have run into the millions. Karen Read's defense cost an estimated $5-6 million. Nick Reiner has no known employment history and was living rent-free in his parents' guest house while receiving a $10,000 monthly allowance at the time of the killings.The Reiner estate is valued at approximately $200 million, built from Rob's legendary career directing films like When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, and A Few Good Men, plus Castle Rock Entertainment residuals from Seinfeld and The Shawshank Redemption. Under California's Slayer Statute, Nick cannot inherit if convicted. But relatives can still use estate funds for legal defense — which is exactly what sources say is happening.Nick is expected to enter a plea tomorrow on two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances. The defense appears to be building toward a mental health argument. Nick was reportedly diagnosed with schizophrenia and his medication was changed weeks before the killings.#NickReiner #RobReiner #AlanJackson #ReinerArraignment #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #MicheleReiner #BrentwoodMurder #SuicideWatch #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The allegations made against Jeffrey Epstein's estate are disturbing not only for their substance but for what they reveal about the scale and persistence of harm long after Epstein's death. Multiple survivors allege that the estate represents assets accumulated through systematic sexual exploitation of minors, and that those assets are inseparable from the crimes themselves. According to these claims, Epstein's wealth was not incidental background noise to the abuse but a central mechanism that enabled it—funding travel, properties, recruitment pipelines, and silence. The estate, in this framing, becomes a lingering extension of the original wrongdoing: a financial structure built on exploitation that continues to exist even though its architect is gone.What makes the allegations especially troubling is the assertion that the estate has fought aggressively to limit accountability, narrow liability, and minimize survivor compensation, despite the overwhelming evidence of Epstein's conduct. Survivors argue that this posture effectively retraumatizes victims by forcing them to relitigate their abuse in financial terms, pitting human harm against balance sheets and legal maneuvering. The disturbing core of these allegations is not simply that horrific crimes occurred, but that the wealth derived from those crimes remains protected, litigated over, and treated as legitimate property. In that sense, the case against Epstein's estate is not just about past abuse—it is about whether a system allows profits from exploitation to outlive the victims' suffering and escape full moral and legal reckoning.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
What if success isn't about chasing the next exit, but about finally knowing what's enough?In this Season 16 episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with entrepreneur Jermaine Ee, founder of HeirLight, for a powerful conversation about clarity, legacy, and building businesses that truly matter.Jermaine Ee's entrepreneurial instincts showed up early — from selling custom mixtapes in school to pioneering YouTube product placement years before influencer marketing became mainstream. Since then, he's built and worked across industries including toys, media, politics, and technology.But his most meaningful work came from a personal realization: his parents didn't lack money — they lacked clarity. That insight led Jermaine to create HeirLight, an AI-powered estate planning platform designed to remove fear, shame, and confusion from conversations about assets, legacy, and life planning.Together, Tyler and Jermaine unpack what it means to design your life intentionally, why not every business should raise venture capital, and how self-awareness is often the missing ingredient in entrepreneurship. Key TakeawaysHow early entrepreneurial instincts often show up before “real” businessesWhy most people delay estate planning — and how AI can change thatThe difference between chasing hype and building with purposeWhen to bootstrap vs. when to raise capitalWhy building the right team matters more than doing everything yourselfThe realities of building a business with familyHow to use AI as a tool without losing your humanityWhy clarity may be the most underrated entrepreneurial advantageChapters00:00 Welcome to BizNinja & meeting Jermaine Ee01:00 Selling mixtapes and early signs of entrepreneurship02:30 Discovering YouTube marketing before it was mainstream04:00 Being “forced” into entrepreneurship05:00 Why HeirLight was built07:00 Estate planning, shame, and the messy middle09:00 Legal, design, and scaling challenges10:30 Applying B2B lessons to a consumer startup12:30 Bootstrapping vs. raising capital14:30 Choosing which ideas deserve your focus16:30 Family, failure, and resilience18:30 Building a business with his mother20:30 Working with family without damaging relationships22:00 AI as a productivity tool, not a replacement for humanity25:00 Self-awareness and whose opinions matter26:30 “Clarity is love in practical form”27:30 Redefining success and legacy

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! What was meant to be a routine paranormal investigation quickly became something far more disturbing. In their new book, Haunting of Emery Estate, Rob Gutro and Monique Toosoon recount their investigation into one of the area's most notorious locations. What they encountered inside Emery Estate wasn't a single presence—but three distinctly different spirits, each leaving behind a very different impression. The first was a young boy, whose presence carried both sorrow and longing. The second seemed bound to an object, its energy anchored to something from the past. And then there was the third—an entity whose arrival shifted the atmosphere entirely, replacing curiosity with unease and fear. Today on The Grave Talks, we sit down with Rob and Monique to explore what unfolded during that investigation, how the experience escalated, and what it means when an investigation crosses from observation into something far more personal. Some hauntings reveal stories. Others reveal warnings. “Haunting of Emery Estate” is available on Amazon or wherever books are sold. For more information, you can visit Rob's website at robgutro.com or Monique's website, moniquetoosoon.com. #EmeryEstate #HauntedInvestigation #ParanormalBooks #TrueParanormal #GhostEncounters #HauntedPlaces #TheGraveTalks #DarkEntities #RealHauntings Love real ghost stories?
