Happened to us in New England
We lost two trees in two situations. According to the insurance company, if the tree was healthy and struck by lightening or blown down - act of god - so you are not liable. If the tree is unhealthy and not addressed and falls on your neighbor's property - you are liable.

Not sure of your state, but in mine a falling tree that results in damages would be paid for by your neighbor's insurance. In almost 100% of the cases, their insurance company sues you and they recoup the cost.
In the case where there is no damage (ie falling in a lake), if it is on someone else's property line that it falls they can sue you to remove it. I imagine it would cost more for you to have it removed from a lake than a controlled fall on your property and disposal. If nothing else, think of the animosity if they go to put in their dock and your tree is laying there in the way and you saying it isn't your problem! I'd make your life a living hell.... |

Maybe the neighbor won't be able to tell where it came from.

Well, OP admitted, here, that the tree is diseased and damaged…..in some cases, free legal advice from the internet isn’t worth the price.

Had this happen in Ohio. Two trees fell on my roof from my neighbors property. My insurance company had to cover removal and roof replacement. Surprised me as I thought her insurance would cover it.

If your tree is dying then you have the choice of whether to remove it or not. I'd remove it. I very much doubt your insurance would cover it anyway and you'd keep up a good relationship (assuming you have one now) with your neighbor. |

You have now admitted the tree could be a problem so you are responsible for any damage it may cause. The law states that if the neighbor complains about the tree's possibility of causing damage to their property or you admit to it then it will be your responsibility if the tree does indeed cause damage. And why would you take a chance of causing damage to your neighbors property?

Do the right thing and have the tree removed. The fish have enough habitat without your dead tree in the lake, in a spot that prevents your neighbors from putting in their dock. |
