La cuarta de mejoras como limitación a la libertad de testar.

Abstract

The succession by cause of death is one of the ways to acquire ownership of the assets of an individual who has ceased to exist, the Ecuadorian legislation regulates the transmission of said domain through the Civil Code that forms us to transmit the hereditary mass made up not only of assets but also of rights and obligations. In Ecuador, two ways of succeeding have been established, which can be intestate or intestate and testate. The freedom to test is a legal figure that is not regulated in our country or rather is limited by the forced assignments determined by the Civil Code, limiting the right to property and the domain that fell on the deceased before his death. We will analyze in the present work how forced assignments limit the right of property or domain, in particular we will refer to the fourth of improvements in terms of its limitation against the freedom to test, the conclusions and recommendations will be raised in order to have a better understanding of the succession law in Ecuador.
