Thanks for the help everyone. Since it is only fixed at about half the width of the beam it will only "see" that moment and provide a reaction based on that width.
thanks for the reply, I have looked at the books and examples, but all they have is completely fixed end or completely free ends not a partial fixed/free end. Thats why im getting stuck. Since it is only connected half way, I would believe that the resisting moment would be caused just by that...

The hand railing is 4" x 4" and it is not attached half way, its just resting on that beam, it is...
