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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“standing in legal malpractice actions involving the drafting of a will is limited to those who can show that the testator’s intent as expressed in the will is frustrated by the negligence of the testator’s attorney. [Citation.] Extrinsic evidence is not admissible to determine the testamentary intent because ... to allow such evidence would dramatically increase the risk of misinterpreting the testator’s intent, as well as heightening the tendency to manufacture false evidence which could not be rebutted due to the unavailability of the testator.”
