Best Answer

Statutes of limitation vary from state to state, from type of claim being sued upon and even from the nature of the claimant.

For example, in New Jersey, the limitation for a breach of contract is six years. For a negligence action it is generally two years. In some situations (commonly medical malpractice) the two year period could be longer because the time period does not begin to run from the date of the negligent act. It begins but from the date the injured party reasonably could have learned that he had a cause of action. For slander and libel it is one year. For contesting a will it is four months, except for non-residents where it is six months (and even these periods may be extended under appropriate circumstances).

In most states, if the claimant is a minor, the period of limitations does not start until the minor comes of age.

You must look at the particular state's laws and court rules for an accurate answer.

Can you file your taxes if you owe without paying right away?

It is extremely important to file your taxes ON TIME if you owe money whether or not you can pay. The penalty for failure to file on time is TEN TIMES as much as the penalty you will pay if you file but don't pay. People who can't pay their taxes often don't file. That is the most foolish mistake you can make and it will cost you big bucks. File and send as much as you can. Try to make other arrangements to pay the balance, but even if you can't make arrangements or pay anything, file on time.
