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.
“[sjinee the presentation of a will for probate is not an adversary proceeding, and since a surviving spouse or other next of kin ... are not required to enter any appearance (as required in an adversary action) before a will can be admitted to probate in Ohio, the [Service-members’] Civil Relief Act as amended October 17, 1940, has no application to the proceedings to admit a will to probate in Ohio, and it, therefore, is unnecessary for the executor or anyone else to file the affidavit, appoint the attorney, or follow any other of the provisions of said ... Act ... as a condition precedent to the issuing of letters testamentary in the instant case.”
