  • Is an inch worth arguing over? Especially, if this is a good neighbor?
  • Making a big deal over 1 inch, kinda makes you look like the bad neighbor. Everything has a % tolerance. Ask the surveyor. It might actually be a foot away or maybe over the line. I once looked to buy a 95 acre property that was just surveyed. They had red ribbons in a 6' square in the corners. When i asked about it, they said that was the tolerance and an exact point couldn't be determined.
  • If the tree hangs over into the air above your property line it is trespass. You can force your neighbor to move the tree or cut off all of the branches that encroach onto your property. (I do not practice law in Minnesota and am relying on common law)
