You seem to really struggle with reading comprehension. I said the neighbor sent me a certified mail letter. Also I have REPEATEDLY said that I tried to get a second opinion before I sold the house but couldn't get an appointment in time, I've literally said that SEVERAL times now. If you...
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, as it stands now, he has already basically told me the new owner is responsible for the tree, and the only claim that anyone could have against ME is the new owner, for not disclosing the situation to them. The neighbor has nothing on me at this point apparently...
Again, just because someone sends me a notice with a piece of paper claiming that some guy with six months experience from 120 miles away said XYZ, doesn't mean it's 100% known. Critical thinking dictates a second opinion, as another astute poster here has also noted, he received two different...
The most it could come back to bite me if I do something is having to pay for the tree removal if it turns out the tree was legit an issue. If I do nothing, I could fare worse if someone is inured.
I think maybe it's worth the $500 bucks to further consult with that same attorney, I don't know...
I agree with your view points. In the original text messages, I told him he was welcome to trim or cut down if he wanted to. And I hear you on the fuel issue, as I don't want to draw attention to myself at this point, BUT...all I'd be doing is sending a letter to one or both parties about it...
Ironically this neighbor had a dispute with the previous owner as well that she didn't disclose to me when I bought myself. She actually told me after I brought up the tree issue (the previous owner and I stayed in touch after the sale) that she had wanted the tree cut down but he told her he...
Again, I knew that the circumstance of the letter and assessment were suspect. So no, I didn't know for sure, I tried to have it assessed by my own local resource and couldn't in time.
How does that blow a hole in my theory? First of all, I didn't say he was a fraud, I said he had 6 months experience and was hired from 120 miles away, despite dozens of more experienced professionals being within a few miles of the house. Critical thinking would dictate that it is highly...
Apparently you missed the part where I said in my very first post: " I tried to get it assessed before I sold but couldn't get an appointment in time. "
That means I tried to have a more experienced local pro come and inspect it, but couldn't get an appointment in time.
The neighbor doesn't...
I completely missed that. But as I said the notice was conveniently days after a dispute where I called the police on him, and from a brand new "professional" from 120 miles away...and the notice was only after a text exchange where I asked him WHY he felt that the tree was leaning. As I noted...
I would think technically the neighbor would need to contact the new owner as it's THEIR tree now, I just want to be sure that I'm not able to be held liable for damages if the tree falls. I sold it months ago.
As I noted in my post, it is in WA (Washington).
From my OP: "I did not disclose the tree issue to the buyer since it wasn't specifically called out on Form 17 (WA)..."
Days after I had called the cops on my neighbor for yet again parking in my driveway, he texted me claiming my tree was leaning toward his property, asking me to take it down. I asked him why he thought that as it looked the same to me. A few weeks later he sent me a certified letter with some...
