My understanding through researching a similar situation is: In Florida, the portion of a neighbor's tree, such as a branch, encroaching on your property is your responsibility. You must take the action and pay the cost of cutting and removing the part of the tree overhanging your property. I assume it is the same for tree roots. Also, if your actions cause the tree to die, you may be responsible for costs to replace it.
