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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “1. Did the courts below err by failing to hold that the wills of Dora and Hunter Dukes were mutual and reciprocal wills, executed pursuant to an agreement between the testators and under such circumstances as to constitute in effect, a single will, being the will of the first to die and rendering inoperative the will of the survivor? 2. Does Mrs. Dukes’ will and the surrounding circumstances at the time and place of its execution together with the natural and reasonable inferences drawn therefrom state an intent by Mrs. Dukes that the legacy to her deceased husband should lapse?”
