Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The logical inference from these facts is that the use of joint and survivorship accounts was merely a matter of convenience for Mary Ann Beaver, since she was-acting in a capacity similar to that of a fiduciary for the-decedent. This inference, combined with the fact that the party seeking to uphold the survivorship account is the plaintiff in this action and that the plaintiff was in such a close relationship with the decedent, justifies placing the burden upon Mary Ann Beaver to show that the decedent intended to transfer an interest in the accounts to her. “We believe that the bank signature cards by themselves do not constitute enough evidence of an intention on the part of Josephine Svab to provide an interest in the-survivor to sustain the burden which the particular facts-of this case have justified placing upon the plaintiff. Therefore, the conclusions of the Probate Court and the Court of Appeals in denying plaintiff’s claim and in including the money in the accounts in the property of the estate were proper.””
