Nick Reiner Moves to Tap Family Trust for Murder Defense
Nick Reiner, son of Rob Reiner, is seeking access to a $1.5 million family trust via a probate petition to pay for a murder-defense attorney in his upcoming trial for his parents’ deaths. He claims the trust requires distributions at age 30 and again at 35 and accuses the current trustee of withholding funds; Reiner, who has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first‑degree murder with special circumstances, remains in custody with a public defender after a prior attorney withdrew, with a September court date.
