Responsa על כתובות 179:10
Teshuvot Maharam
Q. L, B's widow, seized all of his movables in payment of her ketubah. Subsequently, A, B's creditor, produced B's note of indebtedness and by the use of force took away the movables from L.
A. A acted within his rights. The ruling of the Talmud (Ket. 86a), which gives the debtor precedence over the widow in the settlement of an estate, is to be enforced even if the widow has already seized her husband's property.
SOURCES: Cr. 195; Hag. Maim., Ishut 17, 2. Cf. Asher, Responsa 79, 1; Weil, Responsa 30.
