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.
““Chapter 229, How. Ann. St., provides the only methods by which claims against the estates of deceased persons and the expenses of administration can be allowed and collected. If the personal estate is insufficient for those purposes, then the real estate may be sold, under the decree of the probate court. There is no law in this state for pursuing the estate in the hands of heirs or distributees” — citing Showers v. Robinson, 43 Mich. 508 , 5 N. W. 988 .”
