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.

1. ““A resulting trust arises from a presumption of fact expressive of the supposed intention of the parties that the title to land voluntarily taken in the name of another is held for the benefit of the one who furnishes the purchase price. The title is thus taken in the other by the complaining party himself, or i.t is with his consent. Adams v. Griffin, 253 Ala. 371 , 45 So.2d 22 ; Lauderdale v. Peace Baptist Church of Birmingham, 246 Ala. 178 , 19 So.2d 538 ; Rose v. Gibson, 71 Ala. 35 . If the circumstances show that the one furnishing the money intended that the grantee named in the deed should be the owner of the land, that would rebut the presumption and no resulting trust would arise. Lynch v. Partin, 250 Ala. 241 , 34 So.2d 2 , and cases supra.””
