My tree or my neighbors?

[Jonathan Perez]

So my neighbor was texting me this morning about a tree that is in the front yard and it apparently split apart last night. She’s referring to it as a shared tree between me and her. She then starts telling me how the previous owner was going to go half with her and all this jazz about cutting it down..... To me the tree really looks like it’s more so her side. It is almost directly in front of her side. If anything maybe an inch or 2 of it just barely touches my side. I was going to respond to her text with: “I did notice it on my way out this morning. I wouldn’t have a problem going half with you on taking it down but I think first I would like to confirm that it is actually a shared tree on both my and your property. It looks like it’s more so on your side. “ What’re your thoughts?

If it’s close then agree to the cost as you will spend the $ getting it surveyed and if it is on both properties you probably end up splitting it anyways.
