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 34 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Depositors and banks alike could make a contribution toward eliminating many of these problems if at the outset when the account is established they would add language to the signature card stating clearly whether it is or is not intended to create an estate by the entirety.””
4 later decisions quote this exact passage““The required elements of unity of possession, interest and control peculiar to an estate by the entirety are so well known that an extensive discussion would not be justified. The estate is one peculiar to the relationship of husband and wife and is not available to people in any other relationship. Aside from unity of control, possibly the most important incidents of a tenancy by the entirety are that the survivor of the marriage, whether husband or wife, is entitled to the whole estate and that any property so held is not subject to execution to satisfy the debts of either of the parties individually. The common law recognized estates of this character in personal property as well as in realty and this court has in this respect followed the common law.” (Italics added.)”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]n the absence of language showing clearly the intent of the parties ... [as to whether they intended an estate by the entireties] it is always appropriate to investigate the facts and circumstances leading up to and surrounding the creation of the bank account in order to determine the intention of the original depositors.”
