Once you sign the check, it becomes legal tender, so itâs 100% legal for a bank to cash a postdated check before the date on it. I postdated my check because I didnât want to miss the due date, and I intended to transfer the funds closer to the date I wrote on the check.
If you wrote the check, the only way to guarantee that you will not be liable for it longer than six months is to place a stop payment order on it. According to Bankrate.com, an oral stop-payment order expires after 14 days and a written stop-payment order expires in six months. You must renew stop-payment orders every six months to ensure that you are not held liable for old checks; banks typically charge a fee for each order.
