Good day Robert,
In short, your US assets would be distributed according to US law, and your Ecuadorian assets via Ecuadorian law. Ecuador will not recognize your US Will if it mentions any Ecuadorian assets (property, bank accounts, vehicles, etc.). Those laws are currently changing, and in fact, the referendum vote scheduled for February 4th may affect them as well. If you would like to have more control over how your Ecuadorian assets are distributed, you should contact an Ecuadorian Attorney to establish a Will. There are several listed in our Rolodex if you do not currently have an attorney.
Hope that helps,
