El reconocimiento del derecho a suceder de las parejas conformadas en Unión de Hecho, en la legislación ecuatoriana.

Abstract

Our project includes a normative analysis in everything related to the legal situation of the surviving cohabitant and his right to succeed, because, in article 1023 of the Civil Code, it is not part of the intestate succession orders. Our objectives include the study of theoretical and legal concepts of de facto union and succession law, the analysis of the degrees of intestate succession in non-formalized de facto couples, determining solutions that guarantee their right to succeed. We use the inductive and comparative qualitative method, with which we deepen the existing legal gaps in Ecuadorian regulations and how other countries have solved with the enactment of clear and specific laws. The results show the contradiction between norms, thus showing a transgression to the rights of the surviving cohabitant by not being considered as a successor.
