Breach Of Fiduciary Duty Statute Of Limitations in Wisconsin

Under Wisconsin’s breach of fiduciary duty claims, the legislature has set a fixed limitation period through Wis. Stat. § 893.93(1m)(a). That statute establishes a three-year window for a plaintiff to commence an action after the claim accrues. The official text, accessible at the legislature’s website, defines when the period begins and may include specific accrual triggers or exceptions. Because the rule’s precise operation depends on the facts of each case, the statute itself provides the definitive criteria. A worked example below demonstrates how the three-year period applies in a typical scenario. To estimate how the rule governs a particular set of circumstances, the calculator uses the governing statute and the user’s input.

Governing authority

In Wisconsin, the statute of limitations rule is set by Wis. Stat. § 893.93(1m)(a). The verified packet cites Wis. Stat. § 893.93(1m)(a) (https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/document/statutes/893.93).

Deadline example

For a Wisconsin breach of fiduciary duty limitations check, use the verified limitations period from the current rule packet: 3 years. The authority packet cites Wis. Stat. § 893.93(1m)(a) (https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/document/statutes/893.93).

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.
