re: Trees and neighbors

He said it wouldn't last another year alive and that rot was set in at the roots already. He put it in a report and I gave a copy to my other neighbor and told him that if that tree fell and damaged my home that I would hold him responsible and sue for negligence since he knew the tree is certain to die and root structure rotting out.

If a tree has an obvious lean, is rotted, dead, diseased or obviously compromised in some way and posed a threat due to its proximity to a structure then it ought to be taken down.

If that were the case here I wouldn’t even have to be told. I would have taken them asap.

This is not the case here. These are healthy trees. I hired an arborist now who confirmed it.
