[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been through this on both sides.  We had a neighbor inform us that a tree was dead (certified letter).  It wasn't, based on a report by an arborist.  We had other problematic trees which we had removed.  We watched.  10 years later, during hurricane Sandy, it came down by the rootball.  The tree did about 20K worth of damage to our neighbors property.

Her insurance contacted me.  My insurance defended me.   They did not pay anything to her -- the size of the root ball (18' in diameter) indicated that the tree was healthy with a stable root system, but the 60 mph winds coupled with the 4" of rain were too much for the tree.

Similarly, another neighbor has a huge tree leaning over our kitchen.  But the arborists insist it is healthy.  Nothing we can do.  [/quote]

I'm not in your area (I'm in CA) but I know that here, you can cut at the property line. My friend had a big tree with a huge branch coming into her neighbor's side and they cut it right at the property line and she could do nothing. [/quote]
