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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““[3] Under the statute, an executor, proceeding pursuant to a general power of sale, need not seek a court order of confirmation, but if he does, it would be fallacious to say that the court is powerless to do more than give a rubber stamp approval. Under such circumstance, although the probate court may not consider necessity, it may consider such things as adequacy of consideration, whether or not the transaction is in good faith, whether or not the sale will benefit one or more beneficiaries to the detriment of others and whether or not there is fraud involved.””
