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 35 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““Section 1517 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides that all sales of property must be under oath, reported to and confirmed by the court, before the title to the property passes. “Under the statute the representative of an estate has no authority to transfer property of a decedent, without authority of the probate court. Bovard v. Dickenson, 131 Cal. 162 , 63 P. 162 . Without confirmation such sales are ineffectual and no title or estate passes. Horton v. Jack, 115 Cal. 29 , 46 P. 920 . In such a case it is only when all acts are performed which result in a sale that a purchaser has any interest in the property sold. Then, and not until then, has he any title SO' as to entitle him to a conveyance. Budelman v. American Ins. Co., 297 Ill. 222 , 130 N.E. 513 ; Standard Leather Co. v. Mercantile etc., Co. 131 Mo.App. 701 , 111 S. W. 631 .””
