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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“' ‘ The claim of a gift causa mortis, where a confidential relationship exists, * * * imposes a heavy duty of proof on the claimant. A rebuttable presumption arises from the mere existence of the relationship that the gift was obtained by undue influence or improper means. The burden is on the alleged donee to rebut this presumption and to establish that the claimed gift was fairly and properly made to him.” [Emphasis added.]”
