Fraud Statute Of Limitations in Michigan

Michigan’s fraud statute of limitations is governed exclusively by MCL § 600.5813, which establishes a three-year filing window for civil actions alleging fraud. This provision applies uniformly to fraud claims brought in Michigan courts, setting the maximum period after the claim accrues within which a plaintiff must commence litigation. The three-year figure is a fixed statutory limit; the official source at the Michigan Legislature website contains the precise text and any applicable exceptions or tolling provisions. A worked example below demonstrates how the three-year period is calculated from a specific accrual date. For an estimate tailored to individual circumstances, the DocketMath calculator applies the same statutory rule to compute the remaining time under this limitation.

Governing authority

In Michigan, the statute of limitations rule is set by MCL § 600.5813. The verified packet cites MCL § 600.5813 (https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-600-5813).

Deadline example

For a Michigan fraud limitations check, use the verified limitations period from the current rule packet: 3 years. The authority packet cites MCL § 600.5813 (https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-600-5813).

Example inputs:

• Accrual date: 2024-04-25
• Filing date checked: 2026-04-25

Calculation:

• Start with the accrual date.
• Add 3 years.
• The example deadline is 2027-04-25.

This example is generated from the verified facts packet rather than freeform prose. Confirm tolling, discovery rules, and claim-specific exceptions before relying on the date.

Estimate your own result: every situation has exceptions that can change the outcome. Use the fraud statute of limitations calculator to estimate your specific figure.
