Overview
- Wladimir Klitschko filed a petition in Los Angeles on Sept. 24 asking to be named temporary guardian of his 11-year-old daughter Kaya’s estate so he can receive and manage inherited assets.
- Hayden Panettiere died on Aug. 16 and no will has been publicly identified, which leaves Kaya as the sole heir to property in California including a West Hollywood condominium.
- The court filing warns that an identified person previously gained unlawful access to Panettiere’s home and that there is a risk of further removal of estate property.
- Klitschko says federal agents have entered the residence and removed or seized items during investigations and he seeks authority to secure those assets and seek their return after probes conclude.
- Because Kaya lives in Ukraine, the petition stresses that a local California fiduciary is needed to manage probate for assets located in the state and the judge’s decision on the urgent request is still pending.
