Klitschko was granted temporary guardianship of his ex-fiancée's estate during Thursday's hearing.
In addition, his lawyer requested law enforcement investigate the "recovery of property believed to be misappropriated" by a non-family member.

He believes "a non-family member previously connected to" the Heroes star had ******* ed some of her possessions, including jewellery, according to documents obtained by TMZ.

Kaya Klitschko — the 11-year-old daughter of late actress Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko — made a rare appearance in court on Thursday, October 8.
According to People, Kaya appeared alongside her father, 50, during a hearing over her late mother's estate.
While Kaya did not appear on camera, the outlet reported that she wore a white T-shirt and was soft-spoken when addressing the judge.
The former heavyweight champion filed a temporary guardianship in September over his ex's estate, as she died without a will. As Kaya was Panettiere's only heir, Wladimir took swift action to protect their daughter.
Kaya is "not a resident of California; this Court has jurisdiction over the guardianship of Kaya's estate because, as such heir, Kaya is entitled to the entirety of the ***** ets subject to Hayden's probate administration in California," Wlad claimed in court documents obtained by TMZ.

Hayden Panettiere's jewelry has already been **** ed off after her death, according to her former fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko.
Panettiere, known for starring in TV shows Nashville and Heroes, died August 16 of an accidental drug overdose. She was 36.
In a new court filing, Klitschko requested temporary guardianship of the actor's estate on behalf of their 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, and shared his concerns that Panettiere's belongings have been mishandled since she died in August.
Documents filed Monday read that Klitschko "believes that a non-family member previously connected to Hayden sold certain items belonging to Hayden, believed to include jewelry, to a **** shop," according to Entertainment Weekly
Klitschko, 50, said that the **** shop has refused to disclose specific information about the items without police contact — leading to his worries that remaining items could be "sold, transferred or otherwise rendered unrecoverable."

Wendy Williams used a rare public appearance in New York City to deliver another unmistakable message about the court-ordered guardianship that has controlled major parts of her life since 2022.
The former daytime host was photographed walking through Manhattan on Aug. 19 with shopping bags and a male companion when a photographer asked what she wanted fans to know about what she was going through. "I want out!" Williams replied, according to Page Six.
The outing was Williams' first widely reported public sighting in approximately six months, following her appearance at her father Thomas Williams' funeral near Miami in February. Photos from the New York outing showed the 62-year-old walking outside before entering a building.
Her three-word response came amid an ongoing legal fight over an arrangement she has repeatedly said she wants terminated. Williams has disputed claims about her capacity while her medical history and competing evaluations have become central to the debate over whether the guardianship should continue.
Williams gave a much fuller explanation of her position during a March 2025 appearance on The View, joining the hosts by phone alongside advocate Ginalisa Monterroso. She rejected the characterization that she was incapacitated and said she wanted control over her affairs returned to her.

Williams' latest plea highlights a years-long fight for independence after she was placed in a guardianship in 2022.
Wendy Williams is publicly renewing her call for freedom from the court-ordered guardianship that has controlled aspects of her life since 2022.
During a rare New York City appearance, the former talk-show host told a paparazzo, "I want out!" as questions surrounding her health, independence and legal status continue.
Williams' brief public statement comes after years of controversy surrounding her guardianship and medical care. She has repeatedly objected to the arrangement, previously saying she wanted control of the money she earned throughout her career. According to Page Six, the guardianship began in 2022 after Wells Fargo raised concerns about Williams' ability to manage her affairs. Attorney Sabrina Morrissey was subsequently appointed as her legal guardian.
Williams' health has remained central to the dispute. In 2024, her representatives disclosed diagnoses of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia following medical testing. However, additional testing in 2025 reportedly led doctors to question or walk back the dementia diagnosis, adding another layer of uncertainty to her legal battle. The guardianship was also the focus of a four-part documentary for Lifetime, for which Morrissey sued after her attempts to block its release failed. Both she and A&E settled, although Williams was paid a "paltry" $82,000 for her appearance.
