Reynolds named his niece Nancy Lee Brown Hess as the personal representative of the estate. The “Boogie Nights” star put his possessions into a trust that Hess will now control.

Reynolds mentioned Quinton to say he provided for him through a trust, writing, “I intentionally omit him from this, my Last Will and Testament, as I have provided for him during my lifetime in my Declaration of Trust.”

Reynolds died at age 82 in Florida earlier this month.
