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 39 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Decedent had an obligation to pay the bank the amount owed on the note. Upon decedent's death, appellant, as executor of the estate, accepted the duty to pay decedent's debts. [Wife's] payment of the debt owed on the note relieved the bank of its claim against the estate. However, by paying the debt, [wife] took the place of the bank and became a creditor against the estate. [Wife], as a creditor against the estate, had the legal right to present a claim against the estate.”
