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 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he Probate Code is studded with provisions authorizing the trustee to hire and pay (or seek reimbursement for having paid) attorneys to assist in trust administration. For example, section 16247 empowers the trustee `to hire persons, including . . . attorneys. . . or other agents . . . to advise or assist the trustee in the performance of administrative duties.' Section 16243 provides, `The trustee has the power to pay . . . reasonable compensation of the trustee and of employees and agents of the trust, and other expenses incurred in the . . . administration . . . and protection of the trust.' And section 15684, subdivision (a) provides in part, `A trustee is entitled to the repayment out of the trust property for . . . [¶] [e]xpenditures that were properly incurred in the administration of the trust.'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“While defense against those allegations may have benefited [Powell] personally by eliminating the possibility of individual liability, they also benefited the trust by eliminating charges raising serious questions about whether she had and could continue to administer the trust properly.”
