Hayden Panettiere's ex Wladimir Klitschko gets legal status to protect their daughter's inheritance

Wladimir Klitschko, the ex-fiancé of Hayden Panettiere, appeared in court on Thursday alongside his 11-year-old daughter Kaya to secure temporary guardianship over Panettiere's estate, which Kaya is now the sole heir to after her mother's accidental overdose death. During the hearing, Kaya was soft-spoken and composed as she confirmed her identity remotely via video call. Klitschko requested the power to investigate and recover any of Panettiere’s possessions that may have been pawned or taken by law enforcement during investigations. He alleged that a non-family member had pawned some of Panettiere's belongings, including jewelry, at a shop that refused to disclose details unless contacted by authorities. Klitschko fears the items could be sold without proper oversight. The court granted him temporary guardianship over the estate, enabling him to protect Kaya’s inheritance from potential misappropriation.
