despite section 15(15)(e), upon the transfer of the member’s estate or interest in the immovable property to the spouse, and upon payment in accordance with paragraph (e), if applicable —

the charge referred to in paragraph (b) ceases to secure the payment to the Board of the member’s retirement sum; and
