Question

Neighbors have gotten into a quarrel over a big black walnut tree that sits on mr. jones' property. the tree's limbs extend over to mr. simpson's property, and the fruit from the tree falls everywhere, leaving a big mess. mr. simpson wants the limbs removed from his property. does he have a legal reason to want this done?

Answer 1

Mr. Simpson has the rights to remove the limb from his property because although the tree is residing in Mr. Jones' property, it does not mean that Mr. Simpson has no rights when the limbs of the tree has occupied his lot. He has the right to do so because the limbs are in his lot, which means he could also has the right to do what he wants with it. If the limbs of the tree was not on his property, then it is only right that he does not meddle with the tree or remove it.
