Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
can i recover money spent protecting neighbor?
In general, can one recover money spent protecting another's
property or pocketbook?
After the recent hurricane I spent more than my deductible
removing damaged trees which threatened my house and my
neighbor's house, paying a premium to have the tree service
come immediately. I could have done nothing and let them
fall. Quick action saved the insurance company a bundle of
money. The insurer merely says that trees which did not
actually touch the house are not covered and don't count
against the ded

I am afraid that your rewards will only be due and payable in the afterlife.
