Reply to comment by MeatSack_NothingMore in What are MA laws when it comes to damage from branches of neighbor's trees. I warned neighbor two years ago this would happen, in writing. by bcardarella

That may be true...

But that doesn't mean that a tree company will be willing to actually do that trimming without permission.

My neighbor removed a bunch of trees from their property, and while they were at it, they wanted to remove some branches that overhung their property. The tree was technically on my property.

I didn't care, but the tree removal company needed my permission. They gave me a letter to sign.

I suspect this might be pretty common. Tree removal company doesn't want to be in the middle of a neighbor fight. So even if it's legal to do it, they don't want to be liable
