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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In determining whether undue influence exists, we consider the following factors: “the extreme age of the [donor], his impaired physical condition, his mental debility, not necessarily amounting in complete incompetency, and the absence of competent and bona fide independent advice.” Another factor is whether the donee was active in some way which caused the execution of the instrument. To establish undue influence, it is not necessary to establish the existence of a confidential relationship between the donor and the donee.”
