Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Neighbor dispute

You may trim the trees where they overhang your property, so long as the trimming doesn't kill the trees. Do not enter his property to do the trimming and do your best to make sure the parts you cut off do not fall on his property.

More generally, you should find out if there is a mediation program offered by your city or locality to resolve neighbor disputes. This can be very effective and low or no cost.

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.
