We live next door to a Couple who have a Huge 100+foot Silver maple tree,some of which hangs over my house,i have tried and tried to talk to them about pruning it up, however they wont, even though the last storm sent a Huge limb down onto our house,i have told him the next one could kill us…. he just laughs and says “that tree is solid” i am now at the end of my rope considering this tree, the limbs that did fall during the last storm did damage my home however his insurance would not pay for it saying it was an act of god,,,, i am about to lose my mind over this tree what can and what should i do i live in Indiana

Answer:
Since parts of this tree are hanging over into your property, you have every right to prune away all of it. Check with your local bylaws or City Services first….but I am certain that bylaw applies to all states.
