Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Tree down on neighbors property
My elderly parents own an undeveloped lot in Florida. The person in the house nextdoor called them claiming a tree on my parents lot looks as if it were going to fall onto her property.
1)If the tree falls and lands on the nieghbors property are
my parents responsible for any resulting damages to the
neighbors property?
2) Are my parents responsible for the tree removal from the
neighbors property?
Thank you & regards

Since they have put your parents on notice of this hazardous condition I would check this out since they may be held responsible.

The bad news is that your parents are responsible if their tree falls on their neighbor's property.
The good news is that this is probably covered under the liability portion in their Homeowner's insurance policy.

Yes to both questions.
