Why are attorneys so useless? It's easier to sue somebody because they served you hot coffee than it is to protect yourself. I've been to several and haven't received any useful information. One was even specialized in real estate and has for decades. Even he couldn't answer my questions about trees on my property line.
I see a lot of tree trimming questions here so maybe somebody can point me in the direction of the info I seek. My neighbor is threatening to sue me if I don't have some trees trimmed.
One tree has some dead limbs hanging over his deck and the trunk is clearly on my side of the line. It's diseased and covered in vines so I'm having it taken out completely. One beside it(which he isn't complaining about) is covered in vines also. It's only a matter of time before it succumbs to them, so I'll have it removed. And there is another tree that I want removed so he can't complain in the future.
The tree I have questions about is partly on his property, but mostly mine. He says I need to have it trimmed away from his roof. I'm pretty sure I'm not responsible for that. I think laws give him rights to trim all the way to the property line if he desires. Is the tree mine or is it a shared asset/liability? If I have it trimmed it will be trimmed all the way to the ground. But I need to be sure it is completely mine.
I'm also thinking of just trimming the one dead one, and telling him to trim the other away from his own house, and putting my house up for sale. His harassment is never going to stop, and as a law abiding citizen I'm screwed.
