[AT] Off Topic, Neighbors Tree Fell on my Property

Oops!  I said that wrong -- If your tree falls on your neighbor's property, HE can file a claim.

Check your home owner's policy.  In our state, if your tree falls on your property, there is no coverage, but if your tree falls on your neighbor's property, you can file a claim.

Hello, 

Two of my neighbors hickories fell onto my walking path. I've got 10+ acres and he has about 15 acres. Never met the neighbor since he bought the property a few years back. 

The trees fell halfway on his property and all of the tops are on my property and walking path. 

My plan is to go to his door and ask him if he wants the trees. If yes, then I'll request that he takes them off my property at some point, tops and all. If not, then I'll ask if I can cut them off the root ball and tow the sections down to my splitting area. 

What is the law on trees that fall onto your property? Who owns them? 

This is a heavily wooded area. My feeling is that if I clear off my path I should get the wood... Problem is, I don't really want the tops, If I'm going to take the effort to cut up the tree I'll want the whole thing. 

Any thoughts? 

Regards, 

Will, SE PA.
