Lisa and Christina own homes on properties next to each other. There was no visible boundary between the properties. Neither remembered where the property division was. Christina noticed a diseased tree in between the properties. She said to Lisa, "the tree is on your land. If it causes any harm to my property, I will sue you. You'd better cut it down before it causes damage to my home." This alarmed Lisa and she immediately hired a company to cut down the tree and thus removed the afternoon shade to Christina's home.
