I have spent more money removing trees than I care to recall, most recently a diseased Palm the first few months after purchasing in the villages
idk, this is a terrible risk! up north we had the same issue-old maple tree in OUR YARD was hanging half in the neighbors' yard. @ nite with the new england winds blowing i could hear that old tree creaking & stayed up hoping it would'nt break off, damaging the rear of the neighbors' home. i had to be proactive--we paid well to have that tree taken care of, & arborist was saying how lucky we were that he got to it 1st. it would've cost much more to repair neighbors' home that to cut the tree in the 1st place. my advice is don't wait! meet with the neighbor, discuss your concerns & make a date to have the tree cared for.
