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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““‘Although the time for the termination of the trust has arrived in accordance with the terms of the trust, the trustee does not thereby necessarily cease to be trustee, but he continues to be trustee until the trust is finally wound up. The period for winding up the trust is the period after the time for termination of the trust has arrived and before the trust is terminated by the distribution of the trust property.’” Restatement, Trusts, §344, Comment (a), quoted in Thaw Estate, 163 Pa. Superior Ct. 484, 488 , 63 A. 2d 417 (1949).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““At least prior to the death of the life beneficiary the trust was an active trust; there is no semblance of a suggestion to the contrary. Upon the death of Henry Kendall Thaw, it may be that the legal title to the trust property passed to the remaindermen or his appointees. But we are of the opinion that the trust did not necessarily come to an end upon the happening of that event. His death did not make accountant thereupon a mere custodian, and the notice to take in kind did not ipso facto change an active trust into a mere custodianship «- * *»”
