The gen­eral rule through­out the United States is that if a tree limb or a tree root pro­trudes on a neighbor’s prop­erty, that neigh­bor has the right to exer­cise self-help – i.e. the offend­ing root or limb can be cut off. But just a word to the wise, dis­cuss your inten­tions with the neigh­bor before cut­ting the branches off.
