Wladimir Klitschko, the former partner of actress Hayden Panettiere, has petitioned a court seeking to protect their daughter's inheritance, according to multiple outlets.
Independent Journal Review reports that Klitschko has asked a California court to appoint him temporary guardian of daughter Kaya's estate so he can manage her inheritance from Panettiere. The outlet states the filing cites concerns that the estate needs protection amid an ongoing investigation, reports that federal agents removed property, and worries about unauthorized access to Panettiere's home and belongings.
NewsNation describes the filing as a petition for Klitschko to act as the daughter's representative, while other outlets characterize the move broadly as an effort to protect the child's inheritance.
The petition has been described by several outlets as 'urgent,' though the specific details behind that characterization, including the nature of the investigation, were reported only by Independent Journal Review.
