Klitschko seeks temporary guardianship over daughter’s estate interests

Wladimir Klitschko has petitioned a Los Angeles County probate court for temporary guardianship over the estate interests of his 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, saying the appointment would allow him to pursue probate proceedings and protect her inheritance from loss or damage. The filing does not establish that any property was stolen or that the court has granted his request. Klitschko filed the petition on Sept. 24. He says Kaya is the sole heir to the estate of her mother, actress Hayden Panettiere, and that a temporary appointment would give him authority to act on her behalf while a personal representative is sought. A hearing on the request is scheduled for Dec. 7, 2026. The supplied court-document reporting does not indicate that a judge has ruled. In the petition, Klitschko alleges that nonfamily members previously connected to Panettiere accessed and destroyed her emails. He also says some of her personal property, including jewelry, has disappeared or remains unaccounted for. Those claims are allegations in the filing and have not been independently established in the material reviewed.
