Q: Is there a way around the fl 2 year statute of limitations on attorney malpractice?
My exs friend was our personal and corp attorney. While going thru divorce he drew a 220g personal loan to my ex from a friend guarenteed by the corp which allowed my ex to be released for any reason, the corp for no reason, payable on demand. If unpd forgo foreclosure and friend could take corp in 10 days.corp minutes attached said directors meeting held and i agreed though attorney knew i was out of country. unaddressed in divorce where i received corp, my corp is still responsible. this was not in best interest of corp or stockholders and fraud as far as ex signing i approved at meeting. too late to do anything now?
A: This is not a malpractice issue. The statute of limitations on contracts is 5 years. It might be a fraud issue. Consult with a local attorney about this, and make the facts clearer.
