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 8 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) It has a contract with a member of the decedent’s family; (2) The amount charged represents the reasonable value of the supplies and services furnished; and (3) The amount charged is appropriate for the decedent, taking into considera tion his or her station in life, the extent of property in the estate, and the ability of the estate to discharge the obligation without undue injury to the other creditors.”
