Liam Payne’s 9-year-old son named sole beneficiary of singer’s $29M estate

  • Newly released probate documents show late One Direction star Liam Payne's estate is valued at just over £21million, with funds now accessible to immediately 'benefit' his nine-year-old son, Bear Gray Payne.
  • Payne died 'intestate' without a will, prompting former partner Cheryl Tweedy and music lawyer Richard Bray to be appointed administrators with newly granted Letters of Administration.
  • The net fortune includes a five-bedroom home at Chalfont St Giles, Bucks, which Payne purchased for £3.25million in 2021 to be closer to Bear following his split from Cheryl.
  • Bear is the sole beneficiary, though the remainder must be held in trust until he turns 18; sources close to Cheryl insisted she will 'always do the right thing by her beloved son.'
  • Kate Cassidy, who was dating Payne at the time of his death, has 'no intention of appealing' the decision, maintaining their relationship was 'nothing to do with money.
