[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes! Send the certified letter ASAP, but after that, it could go in many different ways:
1) They take care of the tree.
2) They decide not to do anything about and take their chances that the tree will not damage anything (and they will not be liable for any damage).
3) Leave it to the new owners, and the new owners have to decide whether or not take option 1 or option 2. NOTE: If the new owners move in and the tree is still there, make sure you send them a certified letter about the bad tree so they will be responsible for it, if it falls. 
4) If the (new) neighbors do not do anything about the tree, it's up to you to decide whether to take your chances and leave it alone, or wait for it to fall on your house and let their insurance take care of it.

You are contradicting yourself with #2 and #4 - #2 says they don't do anything and won't be liable for any damage.  #4 says they don't do anything and if it falls their insurance will take care of it (implying that they are liable).  do you know which is correct?  [/quote]

Sorry - Meant to write that they WILL be liable (in #2).... and that's only because there is proof (certified letter) that they were warned about their dangerous tree. That's why I said to send the letter ASAP (to cover what could happen in the meantime while a decision is being made as to what to do with the tree). Actually, they may want to check with their insurance to make sure that the partially broken tree falls under the "dangerous" tree category (like a dead tree would). [/quote]
