The Moneyist: ‘It provides shade and privacy’: My neighbor wants me to cut down my 20-year-old oak tree. Can he force me to?

Dear Quentin,

I have a healthy 20-year-old oak tree that my neighbor is convinced is going to fall on his house. It provides shade and privacy for me, and it’s a beautiful specimen.

How do I explain to my neighbor that removing the tree is not going to happen? Our community consists of small lots with large homes.
