The heirarchy of debt payment by an estate varies from state to state. You should check the law in your particular state because that schedule must be followed by the administrator or executor. An EXAMPLE of the priority of payment is as follows: expenses of the administration; funeral and medical expenses; an allowance for the decedent's family's immediate needs; government claims, such as for taxes; secured debts, such as a mortgage; any unpaid court judgments against the decedent; and finally, the remaining debts of the decedent.

Priority isn't really refering to importance of the expense...but it's legal standing in getting paid from your assets. Taxes are a high priority for example, getting paid before others.
