What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
My father's house is in probate & I am the executor of the property. His passing was 2 years ago and the family is trying to sell the house. There are several very large beautiful trees in our back yard, which the neighbors have complained about the leaves and small branches falling on their flat roof.
When my father was living the neighbor would always ask my father & me if he could have a professional tree company trim the trees nearest to his home. This was fine with us. The property and the yard has always been maintained. Last week I go over to the house to check things out, and I do this on a weekly basis, two trees are cut down, and all the debris was thrown into the yard. When I opened the back door to the house all I saw was branches and tress that filled the entire yard. These trees are hundreds of years old, so all you could see were trees to the end of the yard.
I called the police, they took a report and went over to the neighbors house to speak to them. They said they took it upon themselves to cut the trees because branches had blown over on their roof. Mind you, they never asked for permission to do this and there was no professional company doing this. There were ropes hanging from the trees showing that someone with no experience did this. The police ordered these people to remove the debris from the yard and I would take it further if necessary. It is week 2 and nothing has been done.
I know I have rights and they have violated them. What should I do?????
