First: The reason for the client's rejection of the compensation and its source should be clarified.
Second: If the compensation is from the state, the money must be delivered to the deceased's wife and children. If the value of the original currency decreases by more than one-third, the amount must be paid in another currency, with the difference shared to avoid usury, and the debtor pays half the difference.
