      The lady would be responsible for her tree damaging the neighbors fence, but at 86 years old, she can't be expected to cover the repairs, the neighbor should have gotten to know the lady and her situation and offered to help cut up the tree, hopefully you can help her with that tree in another video 👍

    If it fell on my property, broke the fence, I would call my homeowner insurance and see if it’s covered and if it is I would have it removed ( tree) and the fence fixed. If I can’t use my insurance and I could afford to get it cut up, I’d tell the 86 year old neighbor that I would take care of it. I would hope she would say bring me the bill and I’ll pay for it but if not I guess I’m stuck with the bill. I don’t know her finances at 86, or whatnot. Either way if I wanted it cleaned up I’d would do that. BTW Erik you and Mark are doing a great job on her property. It’s beautiful. Maybe you could set fire to it but have the fire department around just in case.

    Here in FL if a tree falls from a storm and causes damage it falls on the owner of the property that was damaged as it's considered an act of God/Nature and is a no fault issue. Each owner is responsible for the clean up on their own property. This is due to the Hurricanes, tropical storms and tornadoes that we have here.

      Not exactly, that’s jurisdictional upon laws, as well as even simple overgrowth onto another property. Essentially once that part is on your land you are responsible for it.

      Not sure about the state you are in, but in Mass. the owner of the tree (where the roots reside) owns the tree. If the tree crossed the vertical property line, the neighbor is responsible for the portion of the tree that is on the neighbors side of the vertical line. If a HEALTHY tree falls onto the neighbors fence, the neighbor is responsible for the portion of the tree on that side of the property line, and needs to fix their own fence. HOWEVER, if the tree is SICK or UNHEALTHY, and the tree owner knows it, or the neighbor calls the tree owners attention to it, then the damage is the responsibility of the tree owner (where the roots reside) due to KNOWN DANGER and is considered NEGLIGENT for not removing the danger. From what I understand that rule is common throughout most states. In this case, it appears that the willow tree may have been sick before falling as willow trees tend to have short lives and cause all kinds of problems when they start unraveling. So, did grandma know the tree was sick? Did the neighbor inform her of the potential hazard? Probably not, but no matter how viewed, nobody should plant a willow near a property line. The wreak havoc with their shallow roots, fall over easily due to the shallow roots and dense foliage, and rarely last more than 25 or 30 years in good health. Plus they attract bugs by the billions.

    If I was able, capable, yes I would help my neighbor out and if I couldnt I would help her to resolve the issue at hand. Nobody wants to help their neighbor(s) anymore and its more than a shame. You brothers do a fantastic job helping others out in their times of distraught, trials, and tribulations. Keep up the good work Eric and Mark.

    I think it is her responsibility to repair the fence if was from her tree . Homeowners insurance may cover damages. I would think he would approach her about how to handle it and perhaps offer some assistance. Thanks for all you guys do, Eric.

    You guys made those bushes at the front of the house look so much nicer. If it were me I would remove them and the tree that’s so close to the house. Roots and foundations are not good bed fellows. It would also make daily maintenance a lot simpler.
    Thank you for what you do.

Wonderful job as always and you take on some big and amazing transformations that there is no way they could afford

    Why in the world did he not cut it up himself when it happened. His homeowners insurance should cover something like that. He seems like he wanted something for nothing. He had to have known she was elderly.. People are so nasty nowadays, when I was growing and up and in my younger years, neighbors helped neighbors. I remember getting groceries for and older lady who couldn't do it herself. I asked nothing in return. When I mowed the lawn I would help the neighbor out. People are so selfish. I'm glad I grew up in a time when it was a beautiful country and loving each other. I'm older now but if it was me I would get that tree out for her, even if I could only work for 5 mins at a time. Which is where I'm at now. I could use a lot of help and not one neighbor has ever offered me help. ❤️🦋❤️🦋

    Tree ownership is key in this circumstance Erik. It's grandma's responsibility.

    • @timothydeose1639
      @timothydeose1639 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It depends on the state.
      The general rule in most states is that the owner of the tree is liable for any damage caused by the tree, regardless of where it falls. This means that if the tree is on your neighbor’s property, they are the owners of that tree. And if this neighbor's tree falls on your fence, they are responsible for removing the tree and paying for the damage. However, if the tree belongs to you or is on a shared property line, or if it falls due to natural causes or unforeseeable events, you may be liable for the damage and the removal of the tree. Also, there are some exceptions and nuances to this rule, depending on the causes of tree falling.
      Act of God or Act of Nature
      One of the most common exceptions to the general rule is the act of god or act of nature defense. This means that if the tree falls due to a natural event that is beyond human control, such as a windstorm, lightning, earthquake, or flood, the owner of the tree is not liable for the storm damage or similar. In this case, each property owner has to deal with their own damage and file a claim with their own insurance company. However, if the tree was dead, diseased, or decayed, and it fell due to negligence or lack of care, then the owner of the tree is liable. This is because a dead tree or dying tree poses a foreseeable risk of falling and causing damage, and the owner of the tree has a duty to remove it or prevent it from falling.

      The owner of the tree usually has to pay for damages. The removal of the tree though is on the property owners shoulders.
      That is if it was an act of God and the tree was in good health.

    25:25 From the many episodes that I have watched of the court tv show, The Peoples Court, if a tree condition is questionable, the neighbor needs to write a letter or email to the lady about the tree. If the tree, then does damage to the neighbor's property, they have proof (via the letter or email) and they would win in Civil Court. Also, the neighbors property line is from Hell to Heaven, meaning that they can cut away any shrubs and trees, that reach past that imaginary line, and into their property.
