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.

1. ““Summary judgment [is] proper only if, construing the evidence most favorably for [appellants], no genuine issue of material fact remains as to whether [t]estator’s will was the product of... undue influence.” Harper v. Harper, 274 Ga. 542, 544 (1) ( 554 SE2d 454 ) (2001). Undue influence sufficient to invalidate a will “must amount to deception or force and coercion that operates on the testatrix when she is executing her will so that [she] is deprived of free agency and the will of another is substituted for [hers].” (Footnote omitted.) Smith v. Liney, 280 Ga. 600, 601 ( 631 SE2d 648 ) (2006). “Evidence showing only an opportunity to influence and a substantial benefit under the will does not show the exercise of undue influence. [Cit.]” Holland v. Holland, 277 Ga. 792, 793 (2) ( 596 SE2d 123 ) (2004).”
