re: Homeownership Question

Call the assessors office and see who owns it. Not sure how you would get a number to call, but maybe they have an a current address of the current owner. I'm not sure, but I would think if the trees are dead, the owner has a responsibility to take them down. They are probably liable if the trees do any damage to your property, but are you going to spend money in court to get them to pay? If you contact them, maybe they will get them removed.
