Liam Payne’s <\/a>girlfriend, Kate Cassidy<\/a>, could possibly claim a percentage of the One Direction<\/a> singer’s \u00a324million fortune if she chose to make a claim in the courts, reports suggested. Liam tragically died in October last year at the age of 31<\/a> after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n

Five people were initially charged over his death, however three of them have now had the charges dropped<\/a> including Liam’s friend Roger Nores. Liam’s estate was valued at a hefty \u00a328,595,000,<\/a> and later slimmed down to \u00a324,280,000 post debts and bills. According to court documents filed on May 1, with Payne having died without a will, his ex Cheryl Tweedy, who shares an eight year old son named Bear with him, has been tasked with handling his assets.<\/p>\n

Music lawyer Richard Bray was also named as an administrator. Under UK intestacy rules, Liam Payne’s son, Bear, is poised to inherit his late father’s wealth in a trust.<\/p>\n

A source recently told The Mail’s Katie Hind: “Liam had some very sensible people around him for a time and he adored Bear so much. He always wanted to do the right thing by him financially.<\/p>\n

“It is a small consolation that Bear will never want for anything, that he will at least benefit from that.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it’s said Kate – who was dating Liam for two years at the time of his tragic death – could possibly seek to claim a small percentage of his money because of their living arrangements and future engagement plans.<\/p>\n

According to The Sun<\/a>, Kate could seek ‘reasonable financial provision’ under the UK’s Inheritance Act if she claims to have been financially dependent on the singer.<\/p>\n

Kate previously revealed how she and the Strip That Down singer were planning their engagement and future before his death.<\/p>\n

However, after the news of his fortune was published, model Kate posted light-hearted Instagram<\/a> post just hours after it was revealed Liam tragically died without leaving a will.<\/p>\n

Kate shared with her 900,000 followers a snap revealing her bag’s contents \u2013 a Starbucks snack and hair extensions \u2013 with the cheeky caption: “What’s in your purse? ? ? Mine: starbucks and @glamseamless.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to some of Liam’s friends, the superstar made arrangements “some years ago” to ensure his money would go to his only child in the event of his death.<\/p>\n

An insider previously told The Daily Mail: “Liam had some very sensible people around him for a time and he adored Bear so much. He always wanted to do the right thing by him financially. It is a small consolation that Bear will never want for anything, that he will at least benefit from that.”<\/p>\n
