[Everyone] Branch down

[Lauren Rich]

Hi Maryann:

Don't hold me to this  (and maybe Vincent and other lawyers Mark and Joanna
can weigh in on this), but I seem to recall reading an article recently
which said that if a tree on one's property falls on somebody else's
property, it's the problem of the person on whose property the tree fell.
So I'm not sure that we have any responsibility here to remove the fallen
tree, but If we (the Association) are going to remove the tree, we should
probably get permission of people who own that property?   I personally
wouldn't do anything re that fallen tree unless neighbor asks us to? Would
love to hear what Vincent thinks? Also Joanna? Mark? (I am recovering labor
lawyer, not property lawyer).
