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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“When couples file joint bankruptcy petitions, the trustee obtains their full interest in their tenants by the entirety estates. In re Ragsdale, 9 B.R. 991, 993 ([Bkrtcy.] E.D.Va.1981) aff’d sub nom. Ragsdale v. Genesco, 674 F.2d 277 (4th Cir.1982). When one spouse files a petition in bankruptcy shortly after the discharge of the other spouse, Courts upon appropriate motion should reopen the first spouse’s case for the purpose of combining that interest in the property with the other spouses’ (sic) interest. Just as joint filing debtors may not retain entirety property which may be used to satisfy claims of joint creditors, likewise spouses who file separate petitions within a reasonably close period of time should not have any legitimate expectation of retaining such property. See generally, Note, Estates by the Entirety in Bankruptcy, 15 J. of Law Ref., 399 (1982).”
