47. Division of the estate should take place only after the Ḥuqúqu’lláh hath been paid, any debts have been settled, the expenses of the funeral and burial defrayed # 28 |

Bahá’u’lláh 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
188
Ḥuqúqu’lláh (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).
