Wladimir Klitschko seeks guardianship of Hayden Panettiere’s estate

Former boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko has filed a legal petition in California to be appointed as the temporary guardian of the estate belonging to his late former partner, actress and singer Hayden Panettiere. The move aims to protect the financial interests of their 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, who is the sole heir to Panettiere’s assets, estimated to be worth approximately $6 million.

Klitschko’s legal team expressed concerns regarding the security of the deceased actress’s property. Court documents indicate that some belongings may have disappeared following her death, noting that unauthorized individuals may have accessed her residence, evidenced by changed locks and moved items. The petition seeks to prevent the potential loss, damage, or unauthorized sale of assets before a permanent administrator is appointed.

Panettiere’s family has reportedly expressed support for Klitschko’s efforts to manage the inheritance. Klitschko shared a tribute on social media, stating he will always speak of Panettiere with respect and ensure their daughter remembers her legacy.
