§ 146.030. Court authorized to make family allowance from estate if property set apart is insufficient; where persons have other support
1. If the whole property exempt by law is set apart and is not sufficient for the
support of the surviving spouse, minor child or minor children, the court may, if
deemed advisable considering the needs and resources of the surviving spouse, minor
child or minor children, make such reasonable allowance out of the estate as is necessary
for the maintenance of the family according to their circumstances during the progress
of the administration of the estate, which, in case of an insolvent estate, may not
be longer than 1 year after granting letters of administration. 2. If the surviving spouse or any minor child has a reasonable maintenance derived

allowance must be granted only to those who do not have such maintenance, or the allowance
