Son Accused of Murder Seeks Trust Fund Access
16 Jun
Summary
- Nick Reiner, accused of murdering his parents, seeks access to a trust fund.
- The trust fund was established by his parents before their deaths.
- A judge will ultimately decide if Nick Reiner receives the disputed funds.
Nick Reiner, arrested in December 2025 on suspicion of murdering his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and producer Michele Reiner, has petitioned a California court for access to a trust fund. The couple was found deceased in their Los Angeles home on December 14, 2025. Nick Reiner faces two counts of first-degree murder and has pleaded not guilty.
Court documents reveal Reiner's intention to use the trust funds, established by his parents, to hire defense attorney Alan Jackson. While the trustee, Jodi Montgomery, will formally request judicial approval for the petition, a judge holds the ultimate authority over disbursing the funds. Legal sources indicate that the trustee's stricter stance contrasts with Reiner's siblings, Jake and Romy, who appear amenable to using trust funds for legal expenses.
