Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

Neighbor dispute over trees

I have a neighbor that has sent a letter to me saying his homeowners insurance company told him to send a letter placing us on notice in case of any future damage/injuries to anyone or property due to trees.

1. Can their homeowners insurance advise them to do this?

2. Is this legal?

3. Do we have to comply?

What should we do?
