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.
In general, according to several different experts I talked to, a check is good for one year from the date it's written. The time limits written on the face of the check, whether it is 60 days or six months, often mean the issuer is trying to keep the books as up-to-date as possible. They tend to be more of a guideline than a hard rule. That's, in fact, what employees at my bank said when suggesting that I put the two checks through.
