Nick Reiner seeks to unlock $1.5M trust to fund defense in parents' murder case

Nick Reiner has filed a petition in Los Angeles to access more than $1.5 million held in a trust his parents left for him, arguing the funds are legally required to be distributed at ages 30 and 35 and are needed to pay for his defense in his parents’ double homicide case.

His lawyers contend withholding the money would be an abuse of the trustee’s discretion and leave him unable to mount a proper defense.
