Liam Payne's untimely death at 31 left behind a complex situation concerning his considerable $32 million fortune.
His lack of a will meant that his ex-partner, Cheryl Tweedy, and a lawyer were appointed to manage his estate.
This is because Cheryl is the mother of Liam's only child, ensuring that the money is managed responsibly for the child's future.
The legal process outlined how Cheryl and the lawyer will oversee the funds, aiming for a fair and transparent distribution.
