When I was young and just married, I lived in a little house in a small town. There was a huge hollow tree right on the property line, and leaning toward the neighbor's house. She demanded that I remove the tree before it fell on her house. I couldn't even afford to pay attention, but I offered to split the cost of hiring someone insured to lay it down, and I'd clean up the mess. She was as tight as the skin on a bean, and refused the offer. The next storm that came through dropped it on her house and nearly demolished it. The insurance adjuster was really ticked when I told him that I had offered to split the cost of removing the tree, but she had refused to participate. The adjuster hired me to clean up the tree, and it made about a month's firewood for us, and a couple hundred to set aside for Christmas.
You gotta try to get along, but sometimes if it doesn't work out you just have to let things fall where they may. My present neighbor and I shared the work of cleaning up a huge fenceline elm. We had a good time, even roasted some hot dogs over the scrap fire.
I hope it works out for you. It's hard to suffer demanding neighbors.
