The types and sources of legal materials in this study consist of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials obtained through literature and documentation studies. The analysis in this study uses qualitative analysis. The results of the study concluded: 1) Legal protection for Land Deed Making Officials in cases of land document falsification in the sea fence project in Kohod Village, Tangerang Regency is in principle provided as long as the Land Deed Making Official carries out his authority in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and is only responsible for the formal accuracy of the documents submitted by the parties. Land Office Officials (PPAT) do not have the authority to conduct in-depth material examinations of the validity of documents issued by other agencies. 2) Criminal liability for PPATs can only be imposed if there is evidence of active involvement, intent, or collaboration in the falsification of land documents. In law enforcement practice, there is still an unclear boundary between administrative responsibility and criminal responsibility, which has the potential to lead to the criminalization of the PPAT profession. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen regulations, apply the precautionary principle, and clarify the limits of the authority and legal responsibility of PPATs to ensure legal certainty and professional protection in the performance of their duties.
