Re: Residential Real Estate - Statute of Limitation

The statute of limitations depends upon the nature or 'gist' of the action. If the proposed suit were on a written contract, the statute of limitations is four years and generally it starts to run from the time the action accrues, i.e. in the case of a contract, when the contract is materially breached. Oral contracts are two years, and various torts may be between one and three years, occasionally more. There are many technicalities in applying and interpreting the limitations statutes, so it's best to present your real-life fact set to a real life lawyer.
