Liam Payne died with an estate worth tens of millions of dollars and no will directing where that money should go. So while a British court makes its final decision, it has reportedly granted administrative responsibilities to the singer's ex-girlfriend,

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.
