June 9 (UPI) -- Nick Reiner, who was charged in the stabbing deaths of his parents Rob and Michele Reiner, has petitioned a court asking for access to his trust fund to pay his legal fees and necessities.
The petition, filed in a Los Angeles court, claims that half of the trust was required to be given to Nick Reiner, 32, "outright when he turned 30," and the rest would be distributed when he turned 35.
The Reiners created trust funds for each of their children, separate from the family trust of all their assets.
"Nick loved his parents, and he is devastated by their deaths," the probate petition filed on Monday said, People reported. "But the facts about what did and did not happen to them are not at issue in this Trust litigation. Like anyone accused of a crime, Nick is presumed innocent, and he is entitled to mount his defense with the resources that are lawfully his own."
