Impacto de la mediación en la resolución de conflictos familiares y civiles en una notaría de Guayaquil

Abstract

The present study analyzes the background of mediation in notarial services within an international context, highlighting successful experiences that support a posible implementation for resolving family and civil conflicts through reforms in the Ecuadorian legal framework. To achieve the study's objective of analyzing the impact of mediation in notarial services on the resolution of family and civil disputes in a notary office in Guayaquil in 2024, documentary analysis and surveys were combined, yielding significant results. Notably, respondents expressed a willingness to use this mechanism for resolving family, civil, commercial, and labor conflicts, considering it to be more efficient and potentially less costly than a judicial process. The quantitative and qualitative study provides valuable insights for the design of future dissemination, training, and regulatory strategies, taking into account the identified barriers to its implementation.
