Nick Reiner, the son of renowned director Rob Reiner, is seeking to use funds from a family trust to pay for his legal defense. The request was made public in court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on June 8, 2026.
According to the filings, Reiner is facing legal proceedings related to charges of assault with a deadly weapon and making criminal threats, stemming from an incident in January 2026. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The trust fund, established by his father, reportedly contains assets intended for Reiner's benefit. His legal team argues that accessing these funds is necessary to ensure a fair trial and adequate representation. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for July 15, 2026.
Rob Reiner has not publicly commented on the request. The case has drawn media attention due to the family's prominence in Hollywood.
