The same way you originally obtained the Order itself. It requires an attorney.
Call my office is you need assistance.
Your question begs the question, since most legal counsel only charge a nominal amount for this short and summary type of proceeding, a First Amended Petition for a Summary should also be quick. But as I mention here, having practiced in excess of 40 years I know there is much left unsaid in this question, and you will have to comply much as Attorney Kaplan indicates, and pull the same type proceeding with notices, time periods, creditor involvement, and be certain the juridictional caps at $75,000 are still met and not exceeded when the prior amount is now added to any second amount of newly claimed properties or else decedent is now dead for more than 2 full years. Chapter 735 of the Florida Laws would still apply, and remembers that the spouse and or beneficiaires may need to sign if appropriate under the circumstances. As stated above - You need a Lawyer.
Hope this helps.
