What is the statute of limitations for a forged endorsement on a check?
In most states, warranty claims on forged check endorsements must be made within three years from when the cause of action accrues. That means you have three years from learning of facts that should cause you to believe the endorsement was forged. Some states, notably Florida, have shortened that period.
