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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * the widow must be able to appoint a fee simple interest in the property subject to the power, and the power must be exercisable immediately following the decedent’s death. On the other hand, the fact that the appointee under the power takes subject to the executor’s rights of administration does not disqualify the interest for the marital deduction.””
