In accordance with Section 732.2075, it is proposed that the assets set forth on the attached Schedule E shall either be applied to the elective share or shall be distributed to the surviving spouse from the probate estate or revocable trust, if any, in partial satisfaction of the elective share at the time and in the manner set forth thereon. 12.
