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 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A joint and mutual will creates contractual obligations between the signing parties to dispose of the property according to the plan. Nye v. Bradford, 144 Tex. 618 , 193 S.W.2d 165 (1946). This key distinction of the mutuality of obligation imposed on the surviving spouse to dis "pose of property according to the will is irrevocable upon the death of one spouse. [Citation omitted] ... It was clearly the intent of the parties, by the very terms of the will, to make a testamentary contract to which both parties would be bound. [Citations omitted].””
