We live in ME and our neighbor cut throush the root system of three trees. One that fell down and destroyed another tree on our property.
He doesn’t want to give us any insurance info. We had to force him to pull down another tree that night because it was looming over our property next to our house. The third tree is where our and many other children play. We are worried it will fall, or one of the branches which the swing or climb on will break and hurt or **** someone. He says what he did won’t **** it but seeing as he told us he hadn’t done anything wrong in the first place were not really that set on believing what he says now. There are also issues as we live on a lake and these are bounry and waterline trees. Thanks

If you truly believe the tre is creating a dangerous condition on your property, then i suggest spending some money to take him to court and sue him for creating a private nuisance and seek an order forcing the neighbor to remove the tree altogether. I would locate a lawayer that litigates property disputes and civil litigation matter. I would think that a strong leter from your lawyer would get this guy to change his tune and look at this from your perspective. if he continues toignore you, the lawsuit will certainly get his attention and give you the ability to address your claims.
