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 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“if the grantee has not acted in good faith, but has participated with the grantor for the purpose of hindering and delaying his creditors, by attempting to put the property beyond their reach when it is in fact held as a secret trust for the grantor, then, even though support has actually been furnished by the grantee, the conveyance is void and the grantee is entitled to have nothing thereby.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Moberly v. Watson“if the grantee has acted in good faith, without knowledge of existing indebtedness, and has, after the conveyance, actually furnished support of substantial value, the conveyance is valid to that extent, and, while the conveyance may be set aside, the grantee is entitled to a preference in the property over other creditors to the extent of the support furnished by him.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Moberly v. Watson“If after a conveyance based upon consideration of future support, the grantee in good faith actually furnishes support in an amount equal to or greater than the value of the property conveyed to him, it becomes an executed valid consideration for the conveyance and creditors cannot set it aside.”
