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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The Wyoming Supreme Court, apparently, has not resolved whether a tenancy by the entirety can exist in personal property. In Rupe v. First National Bank at Douglas, 485 P.2d 384 (Wyo.Sp.Ct.1971), the Court stated, “In Wambeke v. Hopkin, 372 P.2d 470, 475 (Wyo.Sp.Ct.1962) we ... declined to decide whether a tenancy by the entirety can exist in personal property in Wyoming.” Id. at 385. Despite this disclaimer it would appear that the Wyoming Supreme Court did in fact decide in Wambeke v. Hopkin that a tenancy by the entirety could exist in personal property, albeit not in all personal property. Support for this conclusion comes from Justice Parker’s concurrence in Rupe v. First National Bank, above at 386, wherein he stated, “In Wambeke v. Hopkin ... we recognized tenancy by the entireties as to personal property and set out the minimum requirements therefor.””
