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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Except as provided in subsection (b), a conveyance or devise of land or any interest in land made to two (2) or more persons creates an estate in common and not in joint tenancy unless: (1) it is expressed in the conveyance or devise that the grantees or devi-sees hold the land or interest in land in joint tenancy and to the survivor of them; or (2) the intent to create an estate in joint tenancy manifestly appears from the tenor of the instrument.”
