UK:Liam Payne's fortune to go to nine-year-old son

Liam Payne's son Bear will inherit the late British singer's multi-million dollar estate.

New probate documents have confirmed the tragic One Direction star's fortune will pass to his only child following his death in Argentina from a hotel balcony fall in 2024.

The former One Direction singer, who died aged 31 after falling from his third-floor room at the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires on 16 October 2024, left no will.

But under UK intestacy rules, his son Bear, now nine, was always expected to inherit the estate because Liam was not married or in a civil partnership at the time of his death.

Newly released British High Court documents revealed on Sunday by the Daily Mail now allow parts of the estate to be used for Bear's benefit before he reaches adulthood.
