§ 6. If a veteran dies leaving a widow or widower or a minor child or both after an assistance grant has been approved by the Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs under this Act but before payment thereof, then in case there is an unpaid balance remaining for the construction or remodeling of or for necessary land for such housing unit the payment of such assistance grant shall be made to the executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased veteran; in case there is no such unpaid balance then such payment shall be made to the widow or widower, or if there is no widow or widower, then to the minor child or children, if any, of the deceased veteran.
