We have a large oak tree which overhangs two of our neighbor's property. I am not an expert but do believe that we are not responsible for those branches which go over their yard and two of my neighbors cut down the limbs which protruded onto their property.

If you feel it is dangerous, suggest getting it cut down ASAP. If if falls and hits someone, you could be held accountable.
