Responsibilities of Land Deed Officials (PPAT) in Land Disputes Due to Sale and Purchase Deeds Drawn in Their Presence (Study of Semarang High Court Decision Number 117/PDT/2023/PT SMG)

Authors

Abstract

Abstract. The preparation of a deed of sale and purchase must be carried out before a Land Deed Making Officer (PPAT), a public official authorized to draw up authentic deeds. However, in practice, disputes often arise when the deed does not meet the formal and material requirements as stipulated in laws and regulations. This study aims to analyze the PPAT's responsibility in land disputes resulting from a deed of sale and purchase drawn up before him, as well as to explore the legal consequences of such a deed. This research uses a normative juridical approach with a case study of Semarang High Court Decision Number 117/PDT/2023/PT SMG. This research is qualitative. The data types and sources in this study are secondary data obtained through library research. The analysis in this study is descriptive, conducted using the theory of justice and the theory of legal responsibility. The research results show that Land Deed Officials (PPAT) can be held accountable administratively, civilly, and even criminally if proven negligent or intentionally violating provisions. In the case studied, the Deed of Sale and Purchase was declared legally invalid due to the failure to fulfill material requirements, namely the unpaid payment and the non-compliance of the transaction value with the parties' agreement. As a result, the deed lost its validity as an authentic deed and impacted the restoration of land rights to the injured party. The preparation of a deed of sale and purchase must be carried out before a Land Deed Making Officer (PPAT), a public official authorized to draw up authentic deeds. However, in practice, disputes often arise when the deed does not meet the formal and material requirements as stipulated in laws and regulations. Keywords: Land Deed Making Official (PPAT); Land Dispute; Sale and Purchase Deed.
