End of Life Planning

Many of our clients come to Ecuador to retire because of the high quality of life offered by its colonial cities. Often, in the process of obtaining Visa Ecuador or Residency Ecuador, we assist them in bringing all or part of their wealth with them to purchase property or other assets.

Because owning estate in multiple jurisdictions can create legal and administrative complications—especially for heirs and assigns—End of Life Planning becomes essential to ensure that their wishes are followed and respected. These wishes may include instructions regarding their bodies, digital information, and both physical and digital remains, helping prevent loved ones from facing difficult decisions during emotionally challenging times.

For this reason, we offer specialized End of Life Planning services as a core part of any Estate Plan. We strongly encourage you to explore your options as you approach this important phase of life.
