Seven months after his sad death while visiting Argentina, it was finally known what the heritage of former One Direction was.
Almost seven months after his unexpected death in Argentina, the details of the millionaire inheritance that left him were known Liam Payne To his family. The 31 -year -old British singer, who reached world fame as part of One Directiondied on October 24, 2024, after falling from the third floor of the Casa Sur hotel, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo.
A posterior autopsy confirmed that the interpreter of “Strip That Down” died due to severe polytrauma after a fall of more than 12 meters, which caused internal and external bleeding, in addition to injuries incompatible with life.
The funeral was held weeks later in Amersham, the United Kingdom, and was attended by his former band, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, in addition to his family, his partner Kate Cassidy, the singer Cheryl (mother of her son Bear Payne) and Simon Cowell, the producer who promoted the group’s race from The X Factor. But, being such a young person, the pop star had not written a will, so it was unknown who would have his wealthy fortune.
What is the inheritance that Liam Payne left to his family
Now, judicial documents revealed by the British media The Sun and Mailonline confirmed that Payne left an inheritance of 28.5 million pounds sterling, which was reduced to 24.2 million after paying off their debts and expenses (approximately 30 million dollars).
The striking thing is that the singer had not written a will, so British justice will be that determines how his fortune will be distributed. According to the laws of intestate succession of the United Kingdom, the assets of a deceased person without a testament are distributed among their legal heirs. In this case, his eight -year -old son would be the main beneficiary. Until the fate of the heritage is legally defined, the Court granted the administration of the goods to Cheryl, mother of the child, and the lawyer specialized in the music industry, Richard Bray. Everything indicates that the inheritance will be deposited in a trust until the minor reaches the age of majority.
For its part, Kate Cassidywho was Payne’s couple at the time of his death, has no right to a part of the heritage, since they were not legally married or there were provisions written in their favor. Some legal experts indicated that they could initiate a lawsuit and request a “reasonable financial provision”, especially because the singer covered their monthly expenses. However, Page Six reported that LYoung influencer has no intention of making any claim.
The American gave an interview a while ago to The Sun newspaper, in which she remarked the impact of the singer’s death and the fault she still feels to have returned to the United States days before the fact, in order to take care of the pet. “I had a responsibility. We had a responsibility. We had our dog, Nala, and obviously I never thought this would happen,” he said with tears in his eyes, remembering the day he decided to leave Argentina and leave for his native country, without knowing that this would be the last time he would see his beloved.
