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 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(b) A guardianship may be terminated by court order after such notice as the court may require: (3) If,, for any other reason, the guardianship is no longer necessary or for the best interest of the ward. (Emphasis added.)”
