Legal Consequences and Responsibilities of Notaries for Inconsistencies in the Time of Signing a Deed

Bona Hidayat

Abstract


This study aims to analyze the legal consequences and liability of a Notary for discrepancies in the time of signing a deed and the application of the provisions of reading and signing in an authentic deed. This research is empirical legal research with a sociological approach and a case approach and is descriptive analytical in nature. Data were obtained through interviews with Notaries, literature studies, and a review of Credit Agreement Deed Number 24 dated December 12, 2025, then analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that the phrases "at that time" and "as soon as the deed is read" do not have to be interpreted as simultaneous signing at the same second, but rather require continuity between the appearance, reading, approval, and signing in a series of processes. Separate signings that do not fulfill formalities can cause the deed to only have evidentiary force as a private deed. The Notary's liability must be determined casuistically based on the form of violation, elements of error, losses, and legal consequences that arise. The deed that is the object of the research has formally reflected the provisions of reading and signing, as long as there is no evidence to the contrary.
