I actually care about my neighbors. Neighbors have the ability to make your living experience heaven or hell.

Perhaps one day I'll need assistance and he'll help me out.

Nothing wrong with establishing a good relationship with people.

My neighbor had a large oak tree growing towards my house. I noticed some rot near the base of the tree. I notified the neighbor. He did nothing. So, I paid $200 to a tree expert to examine the tree. His report stated that the tree was in imminent danger of collapse and could easily fall in a large storm. I had it notorized and mailed it to the neighbor, notifying him that I had provided a copy to my insurance company so they would have a green light to go after him if it fell on my house. A week later he had it removed.

If your neighbor's tree is unhealthy and falls on your property as a result, they are responsible.

I know for a fact that Id be up and working to cut the tree up before my neighbors would. I also know both are insured and Id let their insurance handle anything that happened to their home.

Sure Id help as much as possible, but they carry insurance for the same reason I do, in case something bad happens.

If it's a tree in a fence only, we'd probably split the cost and the labor. But just saying you'd oay for whatever damage your tree caused is absurd.
