A judge has granted Wladimir Klitschko, the retired heavyweight boxing champion, temporary guardianship over the estate of his late former fiancée, Hayden Panettiere, following her tragic death on August 16. The virtual hearing, held on October 8, also saw 11-year-old Kaya Panettiere, the couple's only child, make a brief appearance to confirm her father's presence.
Kaya was named the sole beneficiary of her mother's estate by Klitschko, who filed for guardianship on September 24, requesting expedited action to protect the assets from potential misuse. Klitschko's lawyer, Diane Y. Park, sought additional authority for her client, including the power to investigate and reclaim any improperly taken estate property.
The judge granted the temporary guardianship and stated that Kaya will not need to attend the upcoming hearing scheduled for December 7. Panettiere, 36, died from a toxic overdose of fentanyl and other drugs, while the investigation into her death continues.
