Re: trees on property line
The trees which have actually been determined to be on your property you could cut down (assuming after having given adequate notice to your neighbor and that he or she is unable to move them). The trees with overhanging branches, you're entitled to have them trimmed back to your neighbor's property line, as long as they're not damaged in the process. (If they're damaged, you're responsible.)
