Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of Rob Reiner, is seeking access to money held in a trust that his parents established, according to court filings reported by multiple outlets. His civil attorneys filed a petition in Los Angeles County court on Monday, saying trustees overseeing the funds have refused to release money to him “without legal justification.” The petition argues that he needs access to the trust funds for his legal defense related to the killings of his parents.
One report also states that a former lawyer, Alan Jackson, says he is willing to return to the case if funds become available. Across coverage, the dispute centers on whether trustees must provide funds to Nick Reiner in support of his defense, and whether their denial can be challenged through the court. The reports do not specify the amounts involved or the trustees’ stated reasons for refusing release, but they indicate the matter is now before the court following the petition filed by his attorneys.
