     524.2-212 Right of election personal to surviving spouse.

    The right of election of the surviving spouse may be 
 exercised only during the surviving spouse's lifetime.  In the 
 case of a protected person, the right of election may be 
 exercised only by order of the court in which protective 
 proceedings as to the protected person's property are pending, 
 after finding (1) that exercise is necessary to provide adequate 
 support for the protected person during the protected person's 
 probable life expectancy and (2) that the election will be 
 consistent with the best interests of the natural bounty of the 
 protected person's affection.
