I don't personally, but everything I've read suggests using a reputable lawyer and you will have no problems. I understand that there are quite a few, especially in Cuenca, that speak English. I do know that unlike some other Latin American countries, that you can own property with a clear title. It's wonderful that the property taxes are extremely low, unlike the USA. Welcome to the blog and good luck!
