Quote Quoting adjusterjack
View Post
It's up to you to decide what to do. Here are some options:

1 - Just say no, stop talking, wait and see what they do. If you get sued, you defend based on having gotten permission if you can prove it.

2 - Insist on replacing the trees with those of like kind. Probably will cost a couple thousand anyway.

3 - Pay what they say and get a signed release.

4 - Continue your efforts to consult an attorney.

PS - Next time anybody says it's OK to do anything to their property, get it in writing.
I would suggest getting a quote on what it would cost to put it back the way it was, with trees about the height of the tall stumps that you cut down, and of the same kind. I would offer them no more than that. If they want to spend extra money to get it the way that they want it, then fine.
