Neighbor should fix it.


I agree with this. I don't know the correct legal answer but from just being a decent person...why would YOU not pay to fix what YOUR tree did damage to someone else's property? Why do YOU think that THEY should have to pay because YOU didn't want to remove the potential hazard?

I don't care what the correct legal answer is. I would either fix the fence myself or pay to have it fixed if my tree damaged someone else's property.

Damn people.

That's easy to say when it's a fence. What if your tree or trees falls on a neighbors house knocking half of it in?

You'll be glad they have insurance.

If the tree was at no risk of falling then why would you pay? If you knew the tree was rotted and dead then yes pay for it. The reason you have insurance is for when shite happens to your dwelling.
