Hayden Panettiere’s ex-partner, Vladimir Klitschko, has taken on the responsibility of paying the late actress’s tax debt. This decision was made to avoid accruing interest and penalties on Hayden’s estate, of which their daughter Kaya is the beneficiary.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Hayden owed approximately $ 30,000 in individual and federal taxes, which are due by October 15. Klitschko has also requested reimbursement of these funds from the estate once it is settled.
At a court hearing held on Thursday, Klitschko was granted temporary guardianship over Kaya’s estate. The girl attended the hearing remotely and answered questions from the judge. Klitschko’s attorney, Diana Park, also raised the issue of the need for an investigation regarding the «return of property that is believed to have been wrongfully appropriated» by a non-family member.
In recent court documents, Klitschko stated that some of Hayden’s jewelry, including a $ 500,000 wedding ring, was sold to a pawn shop by someone not related to the family. Klitschko did not name any specific individuals.
Last month, Klitschko filed a request for temporary guardianship over Kaya’s estate, calling it an «urgent and important» matter. The documents indicate that Kaya «is entitled to all» of Panettiere’s assets. Klitschko also stated that federal agents gained access to Panettiere’s home as part of the investigation into her death and seized her belongings. He wants to regain ownership of the apartment after the investigation concludes.
According to court papers, prior to her death, Hayden and Klitschko hired a security service to protect her home and its contents due to documented concerns about unauthorized access to the property. After Hayden’s death, the locks on her home were changed, and storage containing designer clothing and accessories was moved as a precaution. Klitschko noted that he expects the mentioned individual to continue attempting to wrongfully appropriate Hayden’s estate property and emphasized the need for the immediate appointment of a personal representative to protect her home and contents. Panettiere passed away without a will, and Kaya is the heir to everything she left behind.
