Hayden Panettiere's ex-fiance makes legal move to protect daughter Kaya's inheritance: docs
Key Points:
- Wladimir Klitschko, ex-fiancé of the late Hayden Panettiere, has filed court documents seeking to be named guardian of their daughter Kaya’s estate to protect her inheritance from Panettiere’s assets.
- Klitschko cited concerns over unauthorized access and removal of property from Panettiere’s Los Angeles home, alleging no personal representative currently safeguards the estate and that some personal items, including jewelry, have gone missing or are held by law enforcement.
- Panettiere died on August 16 from toxic effects of multiple drugs including fentanyl; her parents are currently disputing over her jewelry, and Klitschko is acting to secure the estate amid ongoing investigations.
- Klitschko emphasized the urgency of appointing a guardian to manage Kaya’s estate and protect the late actress’s belongings, while also highlighting his commitment to honoring Panettiere’s memory for their daughter.
- Despite the family’s grief, Klitschko and Kaya did not attend Panettiere’s memorial reception, which was attended by many of her family and friends.
