Cheryl Tweedy<\/a>\u2019s friends have declared she \u2018will do the right thing\u2019 for her son Bear after it was revealed the eight-year-old will inherit the entirety of his dad Liam Payne<\/a>\u2019s \u00a324 million estate.<\/p>\n

The One Direction singer died last October at the age of 31, after falling from a hotel balcony<\/a> in Buenos Aires, Argentina.<\/p>\n

He was later laid to rest on November 20<\/a>, surrounded by his loved ones, including his former bandmates and ex-girlfriend, Cheryl \u2013 who he shares son Bear with.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week it was reported that Payne died \u2018intestate\u2019, meaning he didn\u2019t leave a will and plans for how his money should be distributed.<\/p>\n

According to court documents via The Sun<\/a>, he is thought to have left around \u00a328,595,000, with the final figure dropping to \u00a324,280,000 after expenses and debts were paid off.<\/p>\n

The outlet reports that Cheryl was granted power of administration, alongside music lawyer Richard Bray.<\/p>\n

UK intestacy rules state that usually married partners, civil partners, and some relatives can inherit the deceased\u2019s fortune after their death.<\/p>\n

This means that, although Payne was in a relationship with girlfriend Kate Cassidy<\/a>, they were not married or in a civil partnership, meaning she could receive nothing.<\/p>\n

It is thought that his eight-year-old son will inherit his entire estate, which may reportedly be placed into a trust.<\/p>\n

Now, sources close to Cheryl have insisted \u2018she will always do the right thing by her beloved son\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018It is a small consolation that Bear will never want for anything, that he will at least benefit from that,\u2019 one source told the Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Liam 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.\u2019<\/p>\n

A few hours after the news of the will was revealed, Kate didn\u2019t seem too concerned and shared a photo from the inside of her handbag to her 900,000 followers, which showed a sandwich from Starbucks and some hair extensions.<\/p>\n

Payne and Cheryl welcomed their only child together in March 2017, after a year of dating.<\/p>\n

They called time on their romance the following year but remained close for the sake of their son, and made it a priority to keep him shielded from the spotlight.<\/p>\n

The X Factor icon died on October 16 while spending time in Argentina \u2013 Cassidy was on holiday with him, but had left the trip early to return to Florida.<\/p>\n

The influencer has spoken out after the tragedy and recently shed light on their last conversation<\/a> before she left for her flight.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on the On Purpose podcast, she told the host that Payne said: \u2018You\u2019re acting like this is the last time you are ever going to see me again.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I remember sitting there with him and I was going on and on and on about how much I love him,\u2019 she recalled.<\/p>\n

\u2018He laughed and interrupted me and was like, \u201cKate, you\u2019re going to miss your flight, your car is in the driveway. You\u2019re acting like this is the last time you\u2019re ever going to see me again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018I just laughed back I was like, \u201cI know I\u2019m being silly, I need to get in the car, I can\u2019t miss my flight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018To look back in time and know that that was the last time I was ever going to see him again is just so chilling. But in a way, I think that the way that we said goodbye to each other, I\u2019m so blessed, and that\u2019s where I get the peace from it, that it was that heartfelt.<\/p>\n

\u2018Our last goodbye, I wouldn\u2019t have wanted it to be any differently.\u2019<\/p>\n

She added: \u2018I\u2019m so glad that we had that last beautiful moment together.\u2019<\/p>\n
