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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"* * * To constitute a valid "trust" in personalty "three circumstances must occur: Sufficient words to raise it; a definite subject-matter; and a certain and ascertained object". * * *'"”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"A resulting trust is simply a status that automatically arises by operation of law out of certain circumstances * * *. In the creation of a resulting trust it is essential that the parties actually intend to create the trust relationship but fail to execute documents or establish adequate evidence of the intent. The typical illustration is where one man furnishes the money to buy a parcel of land in the name of another with both parties intending at the time that the legal title is held by the named grantee for the benefit of the unnamed beneficiary."”
