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 19 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Appellants contend that the death of 'a trustee terminated the trust because they say the testator intended that the trustees should act jointly in administering the trust, and that he wished his estate to have the benefit of their joint judgment rather than their individual judgments. It is, therefore, insisted that the court erred in dismissing their supplemental complaint. Conveyances to trustees are expressly excepted from the requirement of our statute that express words are necessary to create a joint tenancy, Ill.Rev.Stat.1937, c. 76 § 1, and we have held that trustees hold as joint tenants, unless a contrary intention is expressed, and on the death of one trustee, the administration of the trust devolves on the survivor, and does not pass to the heirs.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“" Only if the income of the fund does not equal the needs of the beneficiaries for their up-lceep, maintenance and enjoyment, may the corpus be used. This does not give the trustee absolute power to use the corpus, and a court of equity will restrain any exercise of the power without reference to the conditions imposed.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority““In the event the said income does not meet the needs of my sister, Stella (Booth) Krug, as set forth in Paragraph Seven (7) above, then the executors of this Will are hereby authorized and directed to use any or all of my estate to meet the needs of my said sister.””
