A decision has finally been made by the high court to officially name late singer Liam Payne's 9-year-old, Bear Grey Payne, as the only beneficiary to inherit his fortune.
The former One Direction star's empire, worth $29 million, was said to be up for grabs as discussions arose about who deserved the right to inherit it. But as per sources, it was the star's last wish as well as a will that spoke about how Bear deserved it all.
Payne sadly passed away in the year 2024 when he was just 31. He did not leave behind a valid will as per sources, and that made it all the more tricky as to whether or not Bear would get the money from his multi-million dollar empire. Under the legal laws of the UK, a decision was pending.
Sources claim that the fact that Payne was unmarried at the time of his death meant that the empire automatically would go to his closest living blood relative, and in this case, that's Bear.
