Liam Payne's £24.3m fortune: Expert outlines who gets what and how it could all go wrong
Liam Payne's fortune is reportedly worth £24.3 million, and the singer's young son Bear is expected to inherit the bulk of his estate - but without a will, disputes are almost inevitable
The singer, who shares son Bear with Cheryl, reportedly left an estate worth £24.3 million – and now legal experts suggest that the absence of a formal will could open the door for potential disputes. Mr Ridge lays it out: "As Liam has not left a will, with UK intestacy rules, his son Bear will most likely claim the entire estate as there is no spouse or siblings," But he doesn't stop there, hinting at potential courtroom drama: "However, this can be contested on certain grounds, which can often be the case in substantial estates, as seen with high-profile figures like Michael Jackson's will, Nelson Mandela's, J. Howard Marshall II and Jimi Hendrix." He wanted to make sure Bear was looked after (Image: Daily Record)He points out that these legal scuffles usually kick off when folks reckon they've been snubbed or short-changed: "Disputes often arise when individuals feel they have been unfairly excluded or believe they received less than they need."
