Hayden Panettiere’s ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko filing urgent court petitions seeking temporary guardianship of their 11‑year‑old daughter Kaya’s inheritance.  He already has sole custody, but he said the suit is an attempt to protect his daughter's inheritance from being lost. He cites missing jewelry, including Hayden's engagement ring, destroyed emails, and other property concerns. 

Klitschko says he and Panettiere had hired security before her death due to concerns about unauthorized access to her home; locks were changed afterward, and designer clothing/accessories were moved for safety.
