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.
“(1) A difference in time of nearly eight months between the execution of one of the challenged deeds and the contested will, as the mental capacity at both times is in issue. (2) A higher degree of mental capacity is required to make a valid deed than to execute a will. (3) Different rules as to the competency of witnesses would be encountered. (4) Different rules and shifting burdens of proceeding as to a fiduciary relationship would be encountered.”
