• Isn’t my neighbor liable when his tree falls on my property? Ask the lawyer

  11-08-2020 22:58
  
  Q: Our neighbor for years has had a very tall, unkempt tree. It just fell on our yard, and caused plenty of damage. He is liable, right?

In California, the location of the trunk determines ownership; if it started out wholly on his property but the trunk had since extended to your side as well, there may be a level of shared ownership.
