Summary
Liam Payne, a former member of One Direction who passed away at 31 after a fall from a balcony in Buenos Aires, left a £24.3 million fortune. His estate is managed by Cheryl Tweedy, his ex-partner and mother of their son Bear, due to her role as legal administrator. Despite Payne being married before death, the estate's distribution follows intestacy laws favoring his spouse over children. The album "LP1" released in 2019 after the band's hiatus features tracks like "Strip That Down," showcasing Payne's solo career and legacy.
