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 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““1. The law does not favor the abandonment of the homestead and the statute must be liberally construed for the protection thereof. 2. When a homestead status of property has been established, the burden of proving its abandonment, by the clear and convincing preponderance of the evidence, is on the party who alleges such abandonment. 3. To constitute an abandonment of homestead rights removal from the premises must concur with an intention to discontinue their use as a home.””
