Nick Reiner Trust Hearing Postponed to October as Lawyers Push for Speedy Access to Funds

Nick Reiner, who is being held without bail in Los Angeles County jail on charges of murdering his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is seeking access to $1.5 million in trust assets to fund his defense. According to Variety, Reiner's attorney has pushed for speedy access to the funds.

Reiner's request for access to the trust fund is based on his claim that a portion of the fund became "due and payable" to him when he turned 30, which he says was estimated to be $558,000. As reported by TheWrap, Reiner stated in a declaration that he was not informed by a prior trustee that the sum was owed to him.

A hearing on Reiner's request has been postponed to October. According to TheWrap, an objection to Reiner's petition argues that his allegations of misconduct mischaracterize "ordinary, necessary features of trust administration and succession."
