What I stated is the only path forward without breaking the law. But by all means, give him bad advice.
I'm 100% certain the OP is making the cancer lady thing up but if you think threatening to take an old lady that is zonked out and had no idea about her tree even touching someone's house is the right thing to do, then yes, you're a pussy.
You get up on the roof, or hire someone to, and trim a few small branches that are touching your roof. You're acting like this is some massive, sacred, historical figure tree that has a 3 foot wide branch laying on his roof. It looks like you could trim it with shears or a trimmer, much less a chainsaw.
If he would have done that originally the old lady would never even have known or remotely cared.
And if this make believe ladies concern is actually real, if you get up there and trim some branches you think she is going to take him to court? Imagine thinking a 75 year old cancer patient is going to file a lawsuit against her neighbor because he trimmed some branches. Yea that'd really pay off for her

So let's go the other direction, if you struck oil anywhere in your backyard would that be all yours? Your responsibility, your earnings?
Of course it would. Your property lines go above ground and below ground. Suck it up and pay to maintain your property.

Same. Much less get on here an post about it. Or if I actually agreed he should possibly get a lawyer. Pretty embarrassing.

That dudes advice is valid, do YOU want to be sued by her if you mess up?
Posted on 3/18/25 at 10:17 am to iwyLSUiwy
She has asked for the contract between me and the tree cutter to include her and protection of her property (fine) but didn’t offer to split cost.
What is this shite? I get it OT wants to white knight but it’s also her responsibility too

The 75 year old cancer patient isn't going to sue you for trimming a few branches dumbass.

Read my post above: I went over yesterday night after the photos when rain cleared and she asked to be specifically mentioned in contract to protect her fence and property and have the contract sent to her for review.
She will sue.
She will sue.

Sounds like you have to do some maintenance on your home. Pretty simple.
Or you could take her to civil court over $425 dollars, in which case you could possibly win. A win that would simply say that you are right/ruling in your favor and that she should split the cost with you but in no way forces her to actually pay it. You should do it man! It's totally worth it.

It could be a future investment where it just lets her know that there are boundaries and responsibilities to home ownership.
I don’t want to sue her but she has to be accepting that people will go to her yard and do some work

The cancer thing is completely irrelevant to me. Has no bearing on how he should be handling this. Regardless, having cancer does not mean you don't have to maintain your property and have a right to endanger the property of others. You are the weak person here.
He stated she does not want him to trim the tree. That makes it a legal issue whether he gets in front of it or she takes him to court later.

Nonsense. Also, no reputable tree-trimming service would do this.

Thank you I think you’re getting it.
She said she doesn’t want people in her property but all tree maintenance people I called need access to the fricking tree to climb the bastard to prevent shite from falling to her house

I think you're getting a bunch of responses from people who have never owned a house and had to deal with tree trimming issues such as these. They just don't understand what you're saying, even though you were very clear.

But it does also tell you she has some other things going on in her life that might be more of a concern of hers than a few small branches touching her neighbors roof.

No, I'm not soft like you, I would have thrown a ladder up there Saturday and cut a few branches to do regular maintenance on my house. But a weak person like you and the OP, instead of just fixing the issue, immediately thinks of suing someone. Feel sorry for your kids if you have any.

Which is why her issue with him cutting these branches makes no sense. That is her doing, not his. She is the only one causing this conflict.

It is quite obvious that "immediately thinks of suing someone" is not what has happened here. The OP has clearly gotten multiple tree services to review this issue and has tried to work with the neighbor. You are a moron who does not understand the issue.
What you propose here would not solve the problem. It would only defer it to a few years later. You would rather avoid conflict and spend decades addressing something that can be solved instead of forcing the correct solution now.

Yeah this is ridiculous. I’m glad I don’t live with the anxiety that so many others have.
OP and Karens here defending him must be on anxiety meds. Property where I live now has a magnolia tree that hangs over onto my property and I maintain the branches that hang over my side of the fence and in my yard every year and have never even talked to my neighbor before or seen him for that matter. I have azalea bushes along the fence and the shade of the tree forces it to grow outward so I take a ladder and chainsaw and cut the tree branches back myself that are on my side of the property line. I’ve never even thought to bother my neighbor over it once. From what I’ve been told it’s a bed ridden man on hospice anyway which would make sense since there’s nurses at their house regularly.

Me: let’s do the right thing legally so that I’m protected from everything. Hope my neighbor is reasonable.
OT: just do it, neighbor won’t care you go to her property to chop her tree down. Pussy!

Literally in the OP...

I’m not sure I want to sue a 75+ year old cancer person but also don’t want to fork the money myself.
There's a problem, I don't want to spend any money so BOOM, let's think about suing as an option.
quote:
has tried to work with the neighbor.
He could just pay the $850, but he's cheap so he wants her to pay half. If he paid a little more money, the issue would be over with already.

It 100% would solve the problem. He would no longer have trees touching his house. I trim 5 trees every few years to keep them off of my house. I twouldn't matter if they were on my property line or if they happen to be one or two from a neighbors line, it's regular maintenance on my house. It takes one Saturday every few years. I'll be in a different house in a few years so I'm not worried about some decade long dispute with a woman who sounds like will not be around very long.
This would have been an absolute non issue if it were me, there is no sense in trying to apply this situation to me. At the very least I would have just not cared if she didn't pay her part and paid the $850 realizing that you're not going to get someone out there cheaper than that instead of complaining about the money.
