Five Years

• According to Kansas Statutes Annotated section 60-511, claims arising from one of five different categories must be brought within five years. Actions that must be brought within this time include all actions that are based on agreements or contracts, covenants of seizing in a land deed conveyance, covenants of warranty in a deed conveyance, official bonds or acts of relief other than the recovery of real property not otherwise accounted for in the statutes.
  
  

Three Years

• Kansas also requires that some actions be brought within three years, according to Kansas Statutes Annotated section 60-512. Any action on contracts, liabilities or other obligations that are expressed or implied but not written down, and actions based on statutory liabilities other than penalty or forfeitures, must be brought within this three-year period.
  
  

Two Years

• The two-year statute of limitations applies to a range of different action, according to Kansas Statutes Annotated section 60-513. Any action for trespass on real property, taking or injury to personal property, fraud, wrongful death, injury to the rights of another, rendering or failure to render professional services by a healthcare provider that doesn't arise out of contract, and recovery for ionizing radiation injury must be brought within a two-year period.
  
  

Disability

• According to Kansas Statutes Annotated section 60-515, if a person is under the age of 18 years old, incapacitated, imprisoned or is otherwise under a legal disability to file a claim, the statute of limitations is extended. When the person's legal disability is eventually removed, the person has one year from the date of removal to file the claim. However, no claim can be filed if more than eight years since the cause of action has passed.
