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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whether the administrator is a ‘person interested’ within the meaning of our probate statutes governing appeals depends of course upon the facts of the particulár case. Naturally, he would not be interested in the question of what particular shares are distributed to the various heirs, ‘while he would be interested in any litigation the effect of which would possibly be to totally deprive all of the heirs at law of any interest whatsoever in the estate.” ■”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““The general rule is that one who acts in a representative capacity by which he is charged with a duty to protect an estate committed to his charge in the interest of all concerned has such an interest as entitles him to appeal or bring error proceedings from a judgment, order or decree affecting the interests of the estate adversely.””
