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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Its findings as to the ultimate fact of heirship comes to us fortified by those favorable presumptions in which an appellate court must invariably indulge in favor of the integrity and correctness of the lower court's determination of all matters of fact, and which in fine require that: 'If there is any evidence in the record, or any reasonable inference to be drawn from such evidence, to sustain the findings of the trial court they cannot be disturbed here.' (Kienlen v. Holt, 106 Cal.App. 135 -140 [ 288 P. 866 ].) This fundamental rule of appellate practice applies with equal force to determinations of heirship. (Estate of Walden, 166 Cal. 446 [ 137 P. 35 ].)”
