Not in the UK it may be different elsewhere.

In the US check with your city hall for ordinances. In my city, you can remove the part of a tree that blocks access to your property or is overhanging your roof that could cause possible damage.

Make sure you return the offcuts to their owner or you could be charged with theft. The question asked about protection. These answers are about actions.

In West Virginia does the owner of a property's mineral right have to notify the property owner before he sales them?

If the mineral rights have been severed from the property and the owner of the mineral rights does not own the property then there is no need to notify the property owner. It's possible to own the mineral rights and not own the property. That would be called the "mineral estate". The owner of the property if different than the mineral owner would be the owner of the "property estate". Being the "mineral estate" owner gives you the same rights as being a "property owner". You can do as you wish with your mineral interests. Only time there is a need to notify the property owner is if any leasing will be going on. Hope this helps.

If you have maintained a neighbors property for 10 years can you claim it as your own?

Not if you did so with the permission of the owner. In many cases a homeowner will maintain a portion of their neighbor's property in order to protect the value of their own property. If you maintained the property without the permission of the owner but openly, you should consult with an attorney in your state who is familiar with the law of real property who can review the situation and determine if you have met the requirements for a claim of adverse possession. In most jurisdictions the claim must be perfected by a court order.
