According to the newly issued court docs, obtained by People, the net value of Liam’s estate is over £24 million, which converts to roughly $32.2 million. In the UK, if a person dies without a will, the money will typically go straight to their children, so long as they have no living wife, husband, or civil partner.

Liam Payne, who fell from a hotel balcony in Argentina last year, died without a will. A court just gave control of his $32-million estate to his son's mom.

Liam Payne's $32.2 million estate has been left to administrators Cheryl, with whom he shared son Bear, and attorney Richard Mark Bray after the singer died in October with no will.
