Cool Cut Down Trees

My mother recently died. She left the house to four siblings. In her backyard, there were two 50 foot silver maple trees. Last week a tree company came in and cut down both trees with no authorization from any of the siblings. The tree company said they got the wrong address and made a mistake. I would like to know what my recourse is with this company. Can I sue for the value of the trees. We were planning to put the house on the market and without the trees I believe that the value of the house went down. What can I do?

The house is located in Michigan.

Default Re: Cut Down Trees

Yes you absolutely can sue.

See the world law main site for value of trees as well.

You can sue in small claims or regular court.

An appraiser can give you the value to replace.
