Have no idea if this is still current, but I saw a case where on these facts someone sued for timber trespass:

Put your kids in fricking helmets and enjoy the shade so the little gingers don't get burnt?

That law doesn't apply to this situation. The limbs in question are over the OP's property...IE they are the OP's propery.

I don't think so either. Just sayin, I've seen it used when it gets ugly with a neighbor.

In the 80s the kids would be climbing the tree siting on the branches. Today parents want to cut the tree up in the one in million their mistake happens to be under it on their iPhone when it sheds a branch.
In the 80s a girl who lived down the street was climbing a tree with me in our backyard after school. A limb broke and she fell about 20 feet hitting several branches and had a multiple compound fracture in her leg at age 9. She still walks funny at 44. Also her parents sued mine and the insurance company paid them.
So I'm not sure unsupervised tree climbing is so wonderfully nostalgic.

I wouldn't request the neighbor share the costs. You want the limbs removed then you pay for it. I would, however, let the neighbor know I was doing it and why. Just to be courteous. If he has a problem with it, oh well, he can't stop you.

1. Invite the neighbor over to the tree for a chat
2. Piss on the tree to show it's now yours
3. Cut tree as you wish
4. Profit

There is an old large tree in our neighbors yard and a lot of the branches extend out over our driveway
building a driveway will probably kill the root system if so much of it is hanging over where you're about to pour a slab. the tree dies and you win.

I bet it's a water oak.
Is it a water oak?

No but large tree branches falling on top of them have killed them.

Why did you need to include the driveway info? I didn't need that to tell you to talk to your neighbor and then go cut the branches
Because as it is now nobody/nothing is ever in that area so it didn't matter when they fell.

Tree is pretty much dead anyway which is why it's an issue.

I would at least let your neighbor know your intentions first. My parents neighbors cut many large branches off my parents large oak tree. It barely survived and they haven't spoken to them since. That was at least 17 years ago.

Sounds like the driveway was still there and will still be there. Since it's gravel I can assume that those branches could have fallen and cracked the windshield on your 1985 Chevy Silverado. That wouldn't be good

Looks like you already took my suggestion.

Does your neighbor give a flip about the tree? Has be been pruning it or doing any kind of preventive maintenance over the years?
Dude may be a lazy f*ck, in which case, prune the limbs and be sure to poison the tree. You can always blame the pruning for the end result.

My FIL was tired of the trashy neighbor's huge pin oak dropping crap into his pool.
He told them his tree guy was coming to sheer every overhanging limb and he wanted them to be ready for the unbalanced tree fall on their house with the next hurricane.
Or they could split the cost of removing the tree. And that's what happened.
