Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
if 2 trees fall during a heavy wind storm (act of God) into the owner of the house next doors yard (he is an investor who just purchased the home 2 months ago - no neighborly ties), and it is questionable as to whose trees they are, who should be responsible for the cleanup? i don't believe they are mine, but most likely are within 5 ft of the property line, which is not marked and debateable

Please post when you actually want to give real information.
Property lines are exact and not "debatable." If you don't know where yours is, post again when you are willing to share that needed information.
If a survey of your property does not already exist, the property lines can be determined by hiring a surveyor to create a survey. You will then have the answer to your question about who is responsible. If you don't want to spend the few hundred dollars to have the survey made, then explain the situation to your neighbor an offer to pay half the clean-up cost.
Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
