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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

If the life tenant pays more than his proportionate share, he simply becomes a creditor of the estate for that amount. * * * A life tenant who allows property to be sold to> satisfy taxes or other encumbrance cannot acquire a title adverse to the remainderman or revisioner by purchasing at the sale. * * * ””
