Nick Reiner's Conservatorship EXPOSED: The Law Failed Rob & Michele Reiner-What California Got Wrong

New bombshell details reveal Nick Reiner was under a court-ordered mental health conservatorship in 2020—the most restrictive intervention California law allows. A judge found him "gravely disabled." A licensed fiduciary controlled his treatment decisions. He could be forced into a locked psychiatric facility against his will. And yet, four years later, Rob and Michele Reiner are dead.
Today we break down exactly what an LPS conservatorship is, what powers it grants, and the devastating legal loophole that may have prevented the Reiners from renewing it. Under California law, if a family provides food, clothing, and shelter for a mentally ill loved one, that person may no longer qualify as "gravely disabled"—meaning the very act of caring for your child can disqualify them from forced treatment.
We examine the timeline: the 2019 police calls to the Reiner home, Nick's reported schizophrenia diagnosis around 2020, the conservatorship that lasted just one year, and the medication change approximately one month before the killings that sources say triggered a "complete break from reality."
This isn't just about the Reiner case. This is about a system that forces families to choose between supporting their loved ones and getting them the help they desperately need. The conservatorship didn't fail because the Reiners failed. It may have failed because the law worked exactly as designed.
What does this mean for Nick's defense? Why will former conservator Steven Baer almost certainly be called as a witness? And what should California change to prevent tragedies like this one?
All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
