Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I live in Florida. My next door neighbor has a dead oak tree that's dropping big limbs. I'm concerned that the tree will fall on my house because it's leaning in that direction. I have mentioned it to her but she's not concerned and has no plan to have it removed. Is there a way to force her to address the problem?

Make sure you send a letter to her giving notice of your concern.

Yes you can force her hand as a result of the nuisance of the tree. As neighbors it would be much easier to address it face to face or in writing. Perhaps paying for the removal would be the easiest. Hire an attorney if working it out alone wont work.
