Re: Responeability
A property owner is responsible for trees growing soley on his property. Since the overhanging tree is causing damage it should be removed. Check with your insurance company to see if the damage is covered. If not get a lawyer to send a demand letter to your neighbor. He is wrong in his thinking.
