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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“protecting the trust instrument from any modification or termination contrary to the settlor's clearly expressed intent.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“The trust would hardly be a stable device for the transmission of property if the beneficiaries and trustee could make agreements that could modify the settlor's fundamental intent in setting up the trust. [ Citations omitted. ] Thus, under the scheme of the trust code, even the settlor has no power to modify the trust he has created unless he expressly reserves the right to do so. ( 600 So.2d at 1331 , emphasis added.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“there is a strong public policy in effectuating and protecting the settlor's intent as set forth in the trust document.”
