Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Hampshire

check forgery and statute of limitation

I had an employee who stole blank checks from my personal check book and forged my name on the checks. She then was able to cash them $700 per check x 2 checks. I noticed the problem too late and did not report it to my bank within 60 days. This occurred in June 2004. Is there a statute of limitation for me reporting this? Do I have any recourse at this time?

I would agree with Attorney Lebensbaum. The statute of limitations on a tort within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is generally three years.
