(2) A legatee in being, whether his interest is vested or contingent, until his legacy
is paid in full, and (3) an heir even if decedent died testate except that an heir of a

notice pursuant to Section 2-209 (unless judicial probate is requested thereafter and
then after the register has given notice pursuant to Section 5-403(a)). "Interested
person" includes a person as above defined who is (i) a [minor] PERSON

the judicially appointed guardian, committee, conservator or trustee for such
person, if any, and if none, then the parent or other person having assumed

the use of such unmarried infant children. Such allowance, which shall be available
in both testate and intestate estates, shall be exempt from the Maryland
inheritance tax.

3-204.

The right of election of the surviving spouse is personal to him. It is not
transferable and cannot be exercised subsequent to his death; but if the surviving
spouse is [a minor] UNDER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE or otherwise under
disability such [[elections]] election may be exercised by order of the court having
jurisdiction of the person or property of the spouse under disability.
