Rob Reiner’s son Nick seeks money from trust parents left him for his defense in their killings
The petition says the trust holds at least $1.5 million and argues the money is needed for legal fees and jail expenses.
- On Monday, Nick Reiner filed a petition in Los Angeles County court demanding access to a $1.5 million trust fund established by his late parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, to fund his legal defense.
- The trust mandated payouts at age 30 and 35, yet trustee Paul R. Kanin has withheld the funds, citing concerns over Nick's competence that the petition characterizes as a 'shifting series of excuses' lacking legal justification.
- Attorney Alan Jackson withdrew from the case in January after funding failed to materialize, though he declared his firm remains 'ready, willing, and able' to resume representation if the trust assets are released.
- Currently represented by the Public Defender, Nick maintains his innocence while arguing he needs the funds for legal fees and basic support items while incarcerated, claiming he has 'no other means.'
- Reiner is scheduled to return to court on September 15 regarding the double homicide case, while District Attorney Nathan Hochman continues to weigh whether to seek the death penalty for the December 2025 killings.
