My neighbor's trees are overhanging onto my property. One of them is knocking over part of our fence, and a dead one is in danger of falling on our house. We have asked him to trim them back and remove the dead tree. What are our rights?

Thank you for your response.
Thank you for your response. Are they under any legal duty to remove the dead tree that is in danger of falling on our house?
Thanks again!
