How long do I have to sue over written contract in Arizona?

Answered for: Arizona

A. An action for debt shall be commenced and prosecuted within six years after the cause of action accrues, and not afterward, if the indebtedness is evidenced by or founded on either of the following: 1. A contract in writing that is executed in this state.

The statute states 6 years for written contract. When that clock starts, and whether it can be paused, are separate questions this entry does not answer.

This answer is true in Arizona and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Arizona.
