Responsible for what? Did the limb cause damage? Or do you just need to remove it? The neighbor can be responsible if allowing the limb to remain when it was obvious it was at risk for falling as this would be negligent. If the limb fell due to an act of god, in all likelihood, their is not responsibility.
