What is obligatory when a person dies and another claims to be owed by them: Is their burial delayed until proof is presented, or is the debt paid without waiting for that?

Once a person's death has been confirmed, preparations for their burial, including washing, shrouding, and interment, should be expedited. Their burial should not be delayed due to debt. However, their debts must be settled quickly before the inheritance is divided. Anyone claiming a debt from the deceased must provide proof; otherwise, the debt is not obligatory.
