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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While a guardian may employ an attorney to collect funds belonging to the estate of the ward, which attorney may be of the guardian’s choosing, the necessity of the attorney’s services and the amount of his fee are subject to the determination of the court having jurisdiction of the guardianship. Attorney’s fees under sec. 319.24, Stats., are considered an expense of the guardian and are allowed in a reasonable amount in his account if the legal services were necessary for the proper performance of the guardian’s duty. [Citations and footnotes omitted.]”
