The trust, established by his parents shortly after his birth in 1993, reportedly contained instructions for mandatory distributions at ages 30 and 35, and Reiner argues he cannot fund his defense against potential death penalty charges without the funds, according to Deadline. Variety noted that his attorneys contend the funds should be released as he is the sole beneficiary of the trust.
