Liam PayneThe late and respected “One Direction” singer sadly passed away in Argentina in October 2024 at the age of 31. Because the artist died without a will, the million-dollar fortune was called into question. The high court agreed to name the singer’s 9-year-old son as the sole beneficiary of the $41 million estate, according to updated probate documents. Below are the details of Liam Payne’s son as beneficiary of the estate.
Liam Payne’s son to inherit millions
According to The Sun, Liam Payne’s son Bear Gray Payne, who co-owns the property with former Girls Aloud star Cheryl Tweedy, will inherit the property when he turns 18 under UK law and it will be held in a trust until then. The singer has no will, no marriage and no civil partnership. Last year Tweedy and solicitor Richard Bray were appointed administrators to collect and preserve his estate in a grant awarded by Newcastle.
Rumors about the beneficiaries of Liam Payne’s estate
Payne and Tweedy welcomed Bell in 2017, and the couple split a year later. The “Night Changes” singer was with girlfriend Kate Cassidy before her death. Under probate rules, anyone seeking to claim real estate after someone’s death has six months. Cassidy was not a direct beneficiary because they were not married. And, she insists, she never asked Payne for money until it was revealed she had no rights. “I never [asked him for money]. Yes, it’s frustrating, but that’s thick skin, I’ll never let anyone tell me how strong my relationship is with Liam,” she told The Sun. “The only people who really know how strong the relationship is are me and Liam.”
