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 54 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In the instant cause, examination of testator’s whole will convinces us that his failure to provide a disposition of the income share of a deceased child of one of Ms own children must be regarded as inadvertent rather than intentional, and that a gift over to the surviving children of a child of testator should be implied herein, for the purpose of carrying out the general plan revealed by testator’s whole will, although it is incompletely expressed.” 11 Ohio St. 2d at 56 .”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““However, the Court of Appeals correctly applied the previous decisions of this court in holding that the testator did not use the word ‘heirs,’ to mean his grandchildren as a class, but rather meant those designated by the statute of descent and distribution to inherit from each of his children as of the time of application of the statute. This is the usual meaning of the word in the absence of evidence sufficient to establish a contrary intent. * * * ””
