Liam Payne left a staggering £24million legacy to his loved ones after dying without a will.
The 31-year-old star left a total of £28,595,000 after he fell to his death from a hotel balcony after a drink-drug binge on October 16 last year, but this was reduced to £24,280,000 after his expenses and debts were paid.
And court documents show that the tragic One Direction star granted the power of administration of his estate to his ex Cheryl Tweedy, the mother of his eight-year-old son Bear.
Alongside her was named Richard Bray, a top music lawyer with a track record of representing stars including Ed Sheeran.
It is likely that the fortune will be placed in trust for Liam’s son under UK rules of intestacy.
This means that his girlfriend Kate Cassidy could receive nothing – despite her revealing their plans to marry shortly after his death.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
