47 Division Of The Estate Should Take Place Only After The Huququ'llah Hath Been Paid
any debts have been settled, the expenses of the funeral
and burial defrayed 28
Baha'u'llah specifies that the order of precedence for payment of these
expenses is first the funeral and burial expenses, then the debts of the
deceased, then the Huququ'llah (see note 125) (Q and A 9). He also
specifies that when applying the estate to these, payment must first be
made out of the residue of the estate and then, if this is insufficient,
out of the residence and personal clothing of the deceased (Q and A 80).
