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.
There is also an option to notate how long a check will be valid for. Some checks will have a statement that reads that it is only valid if presented within 90 days. This would be shorter than the standard time frame, but most banks would honor the written statement and refuse to pay the check if presented.
