Nick Reiner Seeks Access to Family Trust Amid Murder TrialPreviousNext

Nick Reiner, son of late filmmaker Rob Reiner, has filed a petition seeking access to a family trust reportedly worth $1.5 million, which he claims was promised to him at age 30 but has been withheld by trustee Paul Kanin. The dispute is separate from his ongoing murder trial related to his parents' deaths. Reiner's legal team argues he needs the funds to cover legal fees and basic expenses, while the trustee reportedly withholds access pending the trial's outcome.
