Where the property of the succession is insufficient, the liquidator, in accordance with his payment proposal, first pays the prior or hypothecary creditors, according to their rank; next, he pays the other creditors, except with regard to their claims for support, and, if he is unable to repay them fully, he pays them in proportion to their claims.
If property remains after the creditors have been paid, the liquidator pays the creditors of support, in proportion to their claims if he is unable to pay them fully, and he then pays the legatees by particular title.
