The nature of the salary determines how it is dealt with. If it is a retirement pension deducted during service, it is considered part of the inheritance and is distributed among the heirs. However, if it is a grant from the state, it is due to the person to whom it was granted, according to the conditions of the granting authority and the law regulating it.
