Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

property law

We are purchasing a new home. The neighbors planted a tree on this property prior to the contractor purchasing & building the home. We want to take the tree down when we move in as it is too close to the house. Can we?

Re: property law

Assuming the tree is on your property, you should be able to cut it down.

You might want the Builder to remove it for you and agree the price in advance.

If the tree is not on your property then you can not remove it.
