We have trees on our property that the limbs are growing onto the neighbor's roof. the neighbor wants the trees removed. who is responsible for removing the trees?

Answer 1

A property owner is responsible for trimming or removal of trees that are a 'known" hazard to the life, health or property of others. Willful Failure to do so demonstrates negligence on the part of the property owner. If injury or loss occurs after negligence then personal Liability for all resulting damage follows.

You should document in some way your notification to your neighbor so as to avoid any dispute of prior knowledge should a loss occur. This is often accomplished through certified mail. If the property owner has no prior knowledge then they can successfully dispute liability.
