The son and accused murderer of Rob and Michele Reiner said the current trustee has "offered a shifting series of excuses and justifications" to withhold the funds
Nick Reiner is demanding access to his more than $1.5 million trust to cover legal fees as he faces charges for allegedly murdering his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner.
In a petition filed in California probate court Monday (June 8), Nick claimed that a trust his parents set up for him when he was a kid contained “unambiguous instructions about when the funds” were to be released. The first half was supposed to be “distributed to Nick outright when he turned 30,” per the petition, while the rest of the funds were to be issued when he turned 35.
“These distributions are mandatory and unconditional,” the petition states.
