Cheryl Cole has been officially appointed as one of the administrators of Liam Payne’s estate following his sudden and heartbreaking death last year. The former One Direction star tragically passed away on October 16th after falling from the balcony of his hotel room while in Argentina. He was just 30 years old.
Payne, who didn’t leave behind a will, died intestate, which has now prompted legal steps to sort out his estimated £25 million fortune. According to court documents seen by Rolling Stone, Cheryl and music lawyer Richard Mark Bray were named as co-administrators of his estate. The decision makes sense given that Cheryl shares their 8-year-old son Bear with the late singer.
