Best Answer

The estate has the responsibility to settle the debts. One of the primary reasons to open an estate is to resolve such debts. The estate has to pay off the debts. If the estate cannot do so, they distribute as best they can. If the court approves the distribution, the debts are ended.

Probably not. If the tree falls on your house due to a storm then the neighbor is not liable for the damage and it will have to be filed on your insurance. The only case where a neighbor may be liable is if the tree was dead and the person knew it was dead and was a risk to your property. Why would you want to sue your neighbor anyway?

It depends on what made the tree fall. If the tree is dead, then the owner of the tree is liable. If a tornado caused it to blow over it is considered a natural act and no one is liable.
