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 27 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The fact that such real estate may be subject to sale for the payment of debts does not defeat or affect the rights of the heirs as tenants in common to maintain partition at any time before such condition arises, and if in this case the real estate involved may become liable to sale or rent to make the assets for the payment of debts, either of Martha J. Maynard or Jacob Maynard, such fact does not affect the rights of the heirs to partition, of course, subject to the right of sale for the payment of debts as aforesaid,” citing many cases. (Hancock, Trustee, v. Maynard, 72 Ind. App. 661 .)”
