Join us on Friday, October 18, 2024, for a webinar hosted by the Nebraska Arborists Association. The webinar "Who Owns A Boundary Tree?" will be presented by James Komen.
When a landowner wants to cut down a boundary tree, but his neighbor wants the tree to stay, both landowners want to claim some ownership and control over it. However, when a tree on a property line causes problems like root intrusion or branch failure, neither wants to claim ownership. How are questions of tree ownership resolved?Though deceptively simple and mundane, case law among the states varies significantly in nuance and application. This talk presents a sampling of several cases from around the United States to illustrate the divergence in the law.
