She chose to replace it with an 8ft fence since her house is a little higher than mine. I split it with her. That’s why I was a little pissed when she wouldn’t let me take out that water oak for her.

When that tree falls or fence gets blown down again, she’s probably not going to get much help from me.


You sure about that? I’m not a lawyer, but If the fence is on the property line, you may both be on the hook for it. And given that you split the cost with her last time around, it might be argued it’s half yours, even if it’s fully on her property.

Generally an independent arborist verification of a tree's poor health, followed by subsequent failure to remove said tree (by neighbor on neighbor's property) protects you and gives your insurance company more ground to stand on should they sue for subrogation.

I'd check in with treelaw on Reddit or consult a real attorney if you think the damages would justify the expense.
