<p class="MsoNormal">PC lives in a neighborhood with old trees. Neighbor across the alley, (the alley is drivable, paved, utilities run under); neighbor has an enormous elm tree that extends over part of the alley. The elm is squarely on neighbor’s property,
within a fenced yard. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PC is concerned about damage to their backyard, garage, and a small trailer parked within their yard. If tree falls and hits their yard (it is tall enough to hit most of PC backyard if it fell right), PC fears homeowners insurance may not
cover damage to above-items. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Much appreciated,<u></u><u></u></p>
