PS It may likely be these 2 separate trunks are the surviving sprouts off a stump that was cut long ago. I see no compelling reason to believe the 2-separate-tree hypothesis, and less reason to argue about it based on viewing teeny pics on a screen.
The left trunk is overextended because it sprawls out to harvest available sunlight. Caused by humans clearing adjacent trees long ago; reduction is an obvious and fix and the right thing to responsibly do. The crack is kind of a big deal; no reason for panic, but no reason for complacency.
mknox if this gives you sticker shock, consider the maintenance-free years before and after, and do the math. Cheap per year, for the benefits. Ask an RE agent about home value with and without.
