Re: property
This is an easy one: big branches falling onto your property from your neighbor's tree is his responsibility. And any damages are his to pay for.
Sometimes a letter or telephone call from a lawyer can be helpful in these situations. You are welcome to a consultation for no fee.
Good luck.

Re: property
You are responsible to maintain your property.So is your neighbor.
If it was a big limb that was overgrown
for some time, and fell and caused damage, your neighbor could be responsible for the damage.
