La inscripción de los actos relacionados a la expropiación de bienes por razones de utilidad pública.

Abstract

The right to property is a fundamental right, initially conceived in an absolute manner, encompassing the use, enjoyment, and disposition of property, even extending to people during the era of slavery. With the evolution towards the modern State, this right has been recognized with limitations to respect public order and the social function of property, meaning its contribution to collective wellbeing. Additionally, expropriation for public utility, regulated by the Ecuadorian constitution, is an expression of these limitations. Although there are laws that regulate expropriation, in practice, rights violations arise, such as when compensation does not reflect the actual value of the property, thus affecting the owner's assets and contravening the protection of property rights. Furthermore, normative inconsistencies create uncertainty and affect the integrity of the process. It is imperative that public administration adheres to constitutional and legal principles, ensuring fair compensation and transparent processes.
