Liam Paynethe late respected singer of ‘One Direction,’ died in an unfortunate accident in Argentina in October 2024 at the age of 31. Since the artist died without a will, the multi-million dollar fortune is in question. With updated probate documents, the High Court agreed to name the singer’s 9-year-old son as the sole beneficiary of the USD 41 million estate. Here’s a closer look at Liam Payne’s real estate beneficiary son.
Liam Payne’s son will inherit a million dollar estate
Liam Payne’s son, Bear Gray Payne, who he shares with former ‘Girls Aloud’ star Cheryl Tweedy, will inherit real estate when he turns 18 under UK law and will be held in trust until then, according to The Sun. The singer has no will, is not married, or in a civil partnership. Last year, Tweedy and solicitor Richard Bray were named administrators to collect and preserve his estate in a grant issued in Newcastle.
Rumors about the beneficiary of Liam Payne’s estate
Payne and Tweedy welcomed Bear in 2017, and a year later, the couple split. The ‘Night Changes’ singer was with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, before his death. Anyone seeking to claim real estate after a person dies has six months under the probate rules. Cassidy was not the direct beneficiary, as they never married. In addition, he insisted that he never asked Payne for money before it was revealed that he was not entitled to it. “I never have [asked him for money]. Yes, it’s annoying, but it’s only about having a thick skin, and I won’t let anyone tell me what my relationship with Liam is,” she said in an interview with The Sun, before saying, “The only two people who know how strong a relationship is are me and Liam.”
