Nick Reiner wants to access a trust fund set up by his late parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, to pay for a lawyer.
Last December, Nick was arrested on suspicion of murder after filmmaker Rob and his photographer wife, Michele, were found dead at their Brentwood, Los Angeles home.
The 32-year-old appeared in court in April, where he pleaded not guilty to two charges of first-degree murder with special circumstances, including the use of a knife.
On Monday, reporters at TMZ obtained a petition filed by Nick's legal team in which he is seeking the "distribution of money" from a trust fund set up by his parents in 1992. He was allegedly supposed to receive a payout from the trust when he turned 30.
Editors at People have reported that the trust is worth around $1.5 million (£1.1 million).
In the court documents, Nick claimed a trustee had denied him the funds, meaning he was unable to hire attorney Alan Jackson to represent him in the case.
