What is the name of your state?California . I understand the laws are different for each state,so if in California and a storm happens am I required by law to clean the branches and debree from my neighbors yard,and if my tree branches contributed to the breakage of the fence am I liable to repair the fence by myself.

I've alway had the impression the neighbor could trim the over hanging branches .

I'm not sure if they didn't , any damage would be on them .

No.

and if my tree branches contributed to the breakage of the fence am I liable to repair the fence by myself.
If you knew, or had reason to know, that the tree branches that fell off were diseased or damaged or otherwise were about to fall off, then yes. If not, then no.
