Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Property line plants

I have sheep on my property and my neighbor has chosen to plant oleander bushes (poisonous to sheep) on his side of the fence close to the property line. If my sheep eat the oleander and die can I bill the neighbor for the price of the sheep? Note: The neighbor is spiteful because I have a 30' road easement that crosses the edge of his property (which he has planted trees in and I have not said anything about).

Re: Property line plants

You probably do not have an action for the sheep. Make sure you put fences on your side to keep them away from the bushes. And you probably can not trim the bushes as they lean over your property line. By the way, you need to be concerned about the easement. You can lose it by inaction.

Good luck.
