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 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““It is conceded that a fiduciary relationship existed between defendant and her mother, with the former being the dominant party, thus bringing into operation familiar and well-settled principles. Where such a relationship exists, the law presumes as fraudulent any transaction between the parties wherein the dominant party has profited, and the latter must rebut the presumption of fraud by clear and convincing proof that he has exercised good faith and has not betrayed the trust and confidence reposed in him. If such burden of proof is not discharged by the dominant party, the transaction will be set aside in equity. (Hofert v. Latorri, 22 Ill.2d 126 , 174 N.E.2d 866 ; McFail v. Braden, 19 Ill.2d 108 , 166 N.E .2d 46.) On the other hand, ‘if a conveyance was not procured through improper means attended with circumstances of oppression or overreaching, but was entered into by the grantor with full knowledge of its nature and effect and because of his or her deliberate, voluntary a/nd intelligent desire, the existence of a fiduciary relation does not invalidate the transaction.’ (Clark v. Clark, 398 Ill. 592, 602 , 76 N.E.2d 446, 451 ; see also: Matanic v. Krajach, 392 Ill. 547 , 64 N.E.2d 885 ; Uksas v. Zelensky, 21 Ill.2d 303 , 172 N.E.2d 359 .) Transactions between parties to a fiduciary relation, if open, fair and deliberately made, are as valid as transactions between other parties. Schueler v. Blomstrand, 394 Ill. 600 , 69 N.E.2d 328 ; Winkelman v. Winkelman, 307 Ill. 249”
