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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The doctrine of Koppelkam v. First Wisconsin Trust Co. 240 Wis. 254 , 3 N. W. (2d) 350 , and Warsco v. Oshkosh Savings & Trust Co. 183 Wis. 156 , 196 N. W. 829 , is to the effect that, where substantially entire control of the property disposed of is retained by the person making the deposit until his death, a testamentary disposition has been attempted and any document making such disposition must satisfy the statute governing execution of wills. The distinction is between cases like the Staver and Skilling Cases, supra, where a present interest is created in the person alleged to be a joint tenant and those where complete control over the property or chose is retained until death by the donor.””
