# Wladimir Klitschko granted guardianship of Panettiere estate > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/wladimir-klitschko-legal-action-regarding-hayden-panettiere > Updated: 2026-10-08T19:46:17.000Z. Sources: 101. Developments: 4. Following the death of actress Hayden Panettiere in August due to an accidental drug overdose, former boxer Wladimir Klitschko has initiated legal proceedings to protect the inheritance of their 11-year-old daughter, Kaya. Klitschko filed a petition in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles seeking temporary guardianship of the estate, which is estimated to be worth approximately $6 million. He expressed concerns that the assets could be “lost, damaged or dissipated” without immediate legal protection. Court filings highlight security risks, including reports of unauthorized individuals accessing Panettiere’s residence, evidenced by changed locks and moved items. New legal filings specifically demand a police investigation into the disappearance of Panettiere’s personal belongings. Klitschko alleges that a “non-family member previously connected to” Panettiere sold various items, including a $500,000 engagement ring, to a pawn shop. The pawn shop has reportedly declined to disclose specific information without contact from law enforcement. In a recent hearing at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, Klitschko was granted temporary guardianship of the estate. During the proceedings, Kaya, who currently resides with her father in Ukraine, appeared remotely to confirm her identity to Judge Stephanie C. Santoro. Klitschko continues to seek additional legal authority to involve law enforcement in investigating the potential misappropriation of property to prevent further “direct financial detriment” to Kaya, who is Panettiere’s sole intestate heir. A permanent administrator for the estate is expected to be appointed in December. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-08: Wladimir Klitschko granted temporary guardianship of Panettiere estate A Los Angeles judge granted Wladimir Klitschko temporary guardianship of Hayden Panettiere’s estate to protect the inheritance of their 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, amid concerns of misappropriated assets. 23 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wladimir-klitschko-granted-temporary-guardianship-of-hayden-panettiere-estate ### 2026-10-06: Wladimir Klitschko seeks investigation into Hayden Panettiere’s alleged pawned jewelry Wladimir Klitschko is seeking a police investigation into the alleged sale of Hayden Panettiere’s jewelry to a pawn shop to protect the inheritance of their daughter, Kaya. 22 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wladimir-klitschko-seeks-guardianship-to-protect-hayden-panettieres-estate ### 2026-09-30: Wladimir Klitschko seeks guardianship of Hayden Panettiere’s estate Wladimir Klitschko is seeking legal guardianship of Hayden Panettiere’s $6 million estate to protect the inheritance of their daughter, Kaya, amid concerns over missing personal property. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wladimir-klitschko-seeks-guardianship-of-hayden-panettieres-estate-3 ### 2026-09-28: Wladimir Klitschko seeks guardianship of daughter's inheritance Wladimir Klitschko has filed an urgent petition in Los Angeles to protect the inheritance of his daughter, Kaya, following the death of actress Hayden Panettiere. 64 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wladimir-klitschko-seeks-guardianship-of-hayden-panettieres-estate --- Cite as: Wladimir Klitschko granted guardianship of Panettiere estate.
