Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

The law in Illinois has been that you are entitled to trim a neighbor's tree that becomes a nuisance to your property, but you must not kill the tree. The best practice is to ask your neighbor to have it done by a certified arborist. If the neighbor refuses or declines, you can mention that you will have it done by a certified arborist. You will want that kind of professional so that you can not be accused of killing the tree.

Please note that this is NOT legal advice and can not be relied upon as such.
