Can I stop a neighbor from TRESPASSING on my property?

Gulf Coast Law
Certainly you can stop a person from entering onto your private property, in most circumstances. Before you decide to file a lawsuit, however, perhaps a letter from an attorney to the neighbor may be sufficient. Bankruptcy is used more and more frequently to "get a fresh-start". It is, however, a drastic step and should only be used as a last resort. Don't enter bankruptcy unless you have tried Consumer Credit Counseling and that route is not satisfactory.

My neighbor's tree fell across my fence. Will their insurance cover the damage?

Homeowners FAQ
In most cases, your insurance will be the one to cover the damage. Although the tree fell from your neighbor's property, the damage affected your property. Your homeowners insurance covers damage to your property, so you should make a claim under your policy. Your policy probably also provides coverage to remove the debris from your property (typically up to $500). There are a few exceptions to this general rule, however.
