boundary is called the yard-line
Who yard-line side is the fence on?

For I put up a fence I ask the neighbor to go 50/50 with me
he said no
So I put it on my side of the yard-line and pay for it all
2 year after the neighbor tree fall on it
he pay 100% to fix it


Nice neighbor! He probably didn't have to.


If he has a mortgage, he has insurance. If the "injured party" has
insurance, and makes a claim, his insurance company pays well and
promptly to avoid wasting time and money in a court case they know
they would lose. Then they raise the other guy's rates.

The only way he can avoid an increase of premiums is to settle
directly and quickly to keep the insurance companies out of it.


My understanding is that a tree falling is considered an "Act of God", and is
the problem of the recipient, not the tree owner - many places anyway.
