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.
“It therefore follows that because the death of a joint tenant does not result in a transfer of that tenant's interest to the survivor, but merely terminates any interest the decedent may have had, any liens existing against the deceased joint tenant's interest are likewise extinguished, and the survivor becomes the sole owner of the entire property free from any liens which may have previously existed on the now extinguished interest of the joint tenant debtor.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“the lien of a judgment debtor against a joint tenant attaches to the interest of only the joint tenant debtor, and ... the lien terminates if the joint tenant debtor dies prior to the attachment or levy having been made upon his interest.”
