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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“No right of inheritance before the death of an intestate arises from any relations existing between him and another. But those who, at the time of his death come within the description of persons entitled by law to inheritance, and those only, take the relation of inheritors to his estate. The death is the event and the conditions then existing are solely the subject of consideration in determining the right of inheritance and distribution of the estate of an intestate.”
