Breach Of Fiduciary Duty Statute Of Limitations in Michigan
Under Michigan’s MCL § 600.5813, a claim for breach of fiduciary duty must be brought within three years. This statute of limitations applies to actions seeking legal or equitable relief for a fiduciary’s alleged misconduct, with the three-year period generally running from the time the claim accrues. The statute sets out the governing limitations period but does not enumerate every exception or tolling circumstance; the official source provides the exact rule. A worked example below demonstrates a straightforward calculation using the verified three-year figure. To estimate how this limitation applies to a specific situation, the DocketMath calculator can compute the deadline based on the user’s individual facts.
