Estates in the U.K. are typically issued to the deceased’s lawful spouse, or if they were not married, to their nearest blood relative.

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.

The former One Direction member died without a will in October. Under UK inheritance law, Cheryl Tweedy is responsible for his fortune until their son turns 18.
