Liam Payne Perishes Without a Will: Identifying the Recipient of His Million-Pound Legacy
Rewritten Article:
Liam Payne, the 31-year-old former One Direction heartthrob, left behind an estimated £24.3 million fortune after his untimely demise in Argentina, sans a will, court documents confirm.
Payne, a native of Wolverhampton, tragically passed away in October last year following a fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.
As per the documents, his former partner and mother of his son Bear, Cheryl Tweedy, is appointed as an administrator for his estate, giving her legal control over his money, property, and belongings.
In the event that Cheryl places the fortune in trust for Bear, UK intestacy laws suggest that he would be the first in line to inherit, as his father's spouse and only child are considered first claim to the estate.
Richard Mark Bray, a music industry attorney, has also been assigned the role of administrator in this complex financial situation.
The gross value of Payne's estate stands at £28,594,888, according to the Letters of Administration, but after settling debts and expenses, the net worth is around £24,279,728.

The deceased singer, 31, met a tragic end after plummeting from the third-floor balcony of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires at approximately 5:10 PM on October 16.
Postmortem results divulged that Payne's body contained traces of alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant at the time of his death. His cause of death was determined to be "polytrauma" caused by multiple injuries and internal and external bleeding.
Manslaughter charges against Payne's friend Rogelio "Roger" Nores, hotel operator Gilda Martin, and head of reception Esteban Grassi were dropped following an appeal in February, whereas hotel employee Ezequiel Pereyra and waiter Braian Paiz still face prosecution for suspected drug supply.
In March at the Brit Awards, Payne was honored with a touching video montage displaying his time with family, his X Factor journey, and One Direction achievements.
