In the case of a homestead created by a probate court in accordance with the Probate Code:
If the homestead is set apart from the separate property of a deceased spouse for the use of his or her surviving spouse or minor child, the setting apart of the property is subject to the law as a transfer to the surviving spouse or minor child. If the property set apart was bequeathed or devised by the decedent to a person other than his or her surviving spouse or minor child, the bequest or devise is also a transfer subject to the law. In determining the tax, if any, on such transfer, allowance will be made for the interest passing to the surviving spouse or child as a consequence of the setting apart of the homestead.
