Sucesión intestada internacional en Ecuador.

Abstract

The succession mortis causa as a way of acquiring the domain, is a universally known legal fact and unequally regulated by the regulations of each country, therefore, the legal system applicable in international matters has been variant. The mutations of the political, economic, social, and the different historical tradition of the countries in the conception of the inheritance and the succession, have been sufficient reasons for the constant dynamics of the regulation as far as determining the applicable law in the international succession. Different legal systems have conditioned the solutions of private international law, following a doctrinal historical order. There are three systems accepted by the different systems in relation to the selection criteria of the connection point in inheritance matters: territorial system, mixed system, unitary or personal system. I consider that our legal system is maintained within a personal system despite having territorial and personal elements, the Civil Code does not stipulate exactly a system in accordance with these family relationships with legal effects in space, but the section relevant to succession and the international agreements attached show elements of the unitary system such as the last domicile or the national law of the deceased, therefore, in this titling work the legislative framework of Ecuador applicable to an international intestate succession will be analyzed in more detail.
