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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An executor or administrator is trustee of the heirs, interested in an estate, or beneficiaries of the will that is being administered. Wells v. Wood, 125 Or. 38 , 46 ( 263 P. 54 ); Re Roach's Estate, 50 Or. 179 , 186 ( 92 P. 118 ). And it is the duty of the trustee in dealing with beneficiaries to fully inform them in regard to the value of the property and the nature of their interest in it. Jones v. Byrne, 149 Fed. 457, 465 ; Ludington v. Patton, 111 Wis. 208 ( 86 N.W. 571 , 580).”
