Wladimir Klitschko has filed legal paperwork in Los Angeles asking to be appointed temporary guardian of the estate belonging to his 11-year-old daughter, Kaya. Court documents indicate the filing aims to protect Kaya's inheritance as the sole heir to the estate of her late mother, Hayden Panettiere, who died without a will. [1] [2]
Klitschko's petition describes the legal move as urgent due to concerns regarding property management and potential asset misappropriation while the estate undergoes probate. The filing alleges that federal agents removed property from Panettiere's Los Angeles home during an ongoing investigation, and claims that certain personal belongings, including jewelry, are missing or with law enforcement. Additionally, court papers state that non-family members have accessed and destroyed some of her emails. [1] [2]
