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 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““In order to renounce a will, the testator’s surviving spouse must file in the court in which the will was admitted to probate a written instrument signed by the surviving spouse and declaring the renunciation. The time of filing the instrument is: (1) within 7 months after the admission of the will to probate or (2) within such further time as may be allowed by the court if, within 7 months after the admission of the will to probate or before the expiration of any extended period, the surviving spouse files a petition therefor setting forth that litigation is pending that affects the share of the surviving spouse in the estate. The filing of the instrument is a complete bar to any claim of the surviving spouse under the will.” Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 110½, par. 2—8(b).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“"The widow [did] not contend she did not know of her right to renounce the will or that she was defrauded by the executor or other relatives of the decedent. [Citations.] The record demonstrates her attorney advised her it was in her best interest to renounce the will and to execute the written form for that purpose which he sent to her. She failed to do so and that choice also is one she was entitled to make." Rosene , 66 Ill. App. 3d at 1001 , 23 Ill.Dec. 693 , 384 N.E.2d 487 .”
