Homeowners Maintenance Responsibilities

Actually, If you know the tree is a Hazard, You should have it removed. This is a maintenance issue, Not an insurance issue.

The best way to "lose" your homeowners insurance policy is to use it as a home and property maintenance plan.

Does homeowners cover imminent threat to your home?

If I understand your question properly the answer is no. Insurance is not designed to cover maintenance or repairs to the home that were not caused from a covered cause. Such as a dead tree leaning over your home that you think will fall on the house. Not only does insurance not cover removal of the tree prior to damage but it also puts a responsibility on you to remove it before it causes damage. If you know about a threat or should know about a threat it is your responsibility to mitigate the damages.

Felled TreesNobody is liable for an act of nature. Generally you will be responsible for the portion that fell on your property and your neighbor is responsible for the portion on his own property.

Barring some provable negligence on the part of the property owner there would be no liability for a natural occurrence.AnswerIts not your fault that your property happened to be next to their tree.
