INELIGIBILITY IN THE OPPOSITION OF THE INVENTORY TRIAL DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF GROUNDS FOR ABANDONMENT
Main Article Content
Abstract
The legal problem analyzed is found in the Ecuadorian Civil Code, specifically in Article 1010, where the lack of sufficient grounds to provide adequate protection to vulnerable persons, such as the elderly, who due to their deteriorating health cannot access a legal means to ensure them a dignified protection by those who will inherit their assets in the future, is observed. The absence of the cause of abandonment in the concept of indignity creates a situation of vulnerability for those who will receive the assets in the succession. For this reason, it is of vital importance to add abandonment as a specific ground of unworthiness, which would imply a civil penalty that disqualifies a person from succeeding a particular deceased, based on harmful actions committed by the potential heir against the deceased and his close relatives, which would ethically prevent a future succession.
