OPINION
LILLEHAUG, Justice.
Helen Durand survived her spouse, but was placed under a conservatorship shortly after his death. Minnesota Statutes § 524.2-212 (2014) required her conservator, before filing for Durand’s elective share in her deceased husband’s probate proceeding, to obtain a court order authorizing the filing. The district court declared that this requirement violated the Minnesota Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection. The court of appeals disagreed and reversed. Because the statute has a rational basis, we affirm the court of appeals.
