Nobody is liable for an act of nature. It does not matter who owned the tree. If a tree falls on your house just call your insurance company.
If it just fell in your yard and did not damage your property you just have to get it removed yourself.
If it's partially on your property and partially on the property of another, then each property owner is responsible for removing that part on their own property.

The neighbors tree fell into your yard from the weight of an ice storm and there was no damage other then some holes in your yard so you want to know whose responsibility is it for tree cleanup.?
The portion of the tree that falls on your property is your responsibility. You can also trim a tree which hangs over your property line but not to the detriment of the tree's health.
