Wladimir Klitschko Seeks Temporary Guardianship of Daughter's Estate.
Wladimir Klitschko filed for temporary guardianship of daughter Kaya's estate in Los Angeles on Thursday. He argues the move is urgent to protect assets Kaya stands to inherit from Panettiere.
- Kaya, 11, lives in Ukraine and is listed as heir to Panettiere's full California estate.
- Federal agents entered Panettiere's Los Angeles home and removed property as part of an ongoing investigation.
- Locks were changed and storage units with designer items relocated after Panettiere's death.
- Jewelry items have disappeared or remain unaccounted for, some in law enforcement possession, per court filings.
Why it matters: No personal representative exists for Panettiere's estate. Klitschko says that leaves assets exposed to loss or misappropriation.
- Court papers allege non-family members accessed and destroyed Panettiere's emails.
