Re: Statue of limitations

It depends on the basis for the claim. If the claim is based on a written agreement, then the statute expires 4 years from the date of the breach. A claim based on a verbal agreement is a 2-year statute.

The general rules are that on a written agreement the statute of limitations is 4 years from the date of the breach. On an oral contract, the statute of limitations is two years. Other code sections may apply, so please contact my office if you have any other questions.
