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 122 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Whether an estate by the entireties exists as a result of the acquisition of property by and in the names of both husband and wife must be determined by a consideration of the nature and terms of the transaction as portraying the intent of the parties and of the rules of law applicable thereto.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"The essential characteristic of an estate by the entirety is that each spouse is seized of the whole or the entirety, and not of a share, moiety, or divisible part. Each is seized per tout et non per my. There is but one estate, and, in contemplation of law, it is held by but one person."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Neither spouse can alien or forfeit any part of the estate [in a bank account held as a tenancy by the entireties] without the assent of the other so as to defeat the right of the survivor.”
