Nobody is liable for an act of nature. It does not matter who owned the tree. If a tree falls on your house just call your insurance company.
If it just fell in your yard and did not damage your property you just have to get it removed yourself.
If it's partially on your property and partially on the property of another, then each property owner is responsible for removing that part on their own property.

The neighbors tree fell into your yard from the weight of an ice storm and there was no damage other then some holes in your yard so you want to know whose responsibility is it for tree cleanup.?
The portion of the tree that falls on your property is your responsibility. You can also trim a tree which hangs over your property line but not to the detriment of the tree's health.

The neighbor is responsible for his own property. If your tree fell on his house, he is responsible for the damage.

If the tree fell as a result of a storm, the person whose property was damaged should claim it on their homeowner's insurance is possible. If it fell and damaged property due to it being trimmed or removed, the liability lies with the person who was taking the action. It would be a nice gesture if the neighbor who owned the tree agreed to share the damage cost, but in the majority of cases he or she cannot be held legally liable.
