Wladimir Klitschko seeks temporary guardianship to protect his daughter’s estate inheritance.

Wladimir Klitschko has filed an urgent petition in Los Angeles seeking temporary guardianship of his daughter Kaya’s estate interests, arguing she is the sole heir to Hayden Panettiere’s estate and needs protection while probate proceeds. The filing says no personal representative is in place and warns estate property could be lost or dissipated before one is appointed. Klitschko alleges federal agents removed belongings from Panettiere’s home during an ongoing investigation and says security measures were taken after concerns about unauthorized access and possible misappropriation. He is seeking authority to safeguard Kaya’s inheritance and help recover property that may be returned after the investigation.
The petition says Panettiere died without a will, and Kaya is expected to inherit her property, including Panettiere’s West Hollywood condominium, subject to probate.
Although Kaya lives abroad with Klitschko and is not a California resident, the petition argues that California courts have jurisdiction over her estate guardianship because the assets are subject to Panettiere’s California probate proceedings.
Klitschko received full custody of Kaya in 2018, when Panettiere agreed that their daughter would live with him in Ukraine while Panettiere sought treatment for postpartum depression and addiction.
Panettiere’s death was reported as accidental, caused by the toxic effects of multiple drugs, including fentanyl.
