IL SB3351

Establishes a 6-year absolute deadline for attorney malpractice actions, measured from the date professional services were performed, regardless of when injury occurs.

Maintains the existing 2-year deadline for filing malpractice claims from when the injury is discovered, but this deadline cannot extend beyond 6 years from the date services were rendered.

For cases where injury occurs only upon the client's death, allows filing within 2 years of death unless estate proceedings begin, in which case the claim deadline extends to the probate claims period, but not beyond 6 years from when services were performed.

Applies retroactively to all causes of action regardless of accrual date, but grandfathers actions that would have been timely under prior law if filed within 6 years after the bill's effective date.

Suspends the statute of limitations period for persons under legal disability (minors or incapacitated individuals) until the disability is removed, without invalidating the 6-year repose period.
