Contradictions in the Legal Practice of Notary Public and Land Deed Officials Holding Dual Positions Regarding the Determination of Different Work Areas

Muhammad Agus Valrossi

Abstract


This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing the territorial jurisdiction of Notaries and Land Deed Officials, examine the legal implications arising from differences in their territorial authority when both positions are held concurrently, and explore the legal mechanisms for resolving disputes related to such jurisdictional differences. This research employs a normative juridical approach with a descriptive-analytical research design. Data were collected through library research using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials and were analyzed qualitatively through legal interpretation of statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and relevant scholarly literature. The findings indicate that the regulations governing the territorial jurisdiction of Notaries and Land Deed Officials remain inconsistent. A Notary exercises authority throughout the province in which the office is located, whereas a Land Deed Official is limited to a single regency or municipality. This discrepancy creates legal uncertainty regarding the exercise of authority, the evidentiary validity of authentic deeds, and the imposition of administrative sanctions in cases of concurrent office holding. Legal resolution is carried out through supervision by the Notary Supervisory Council, the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency, and the respective professional organizations. However, the existing supervisory mechanisms remain fragmented. Therefore, regulatory harmonization, stronger institutional coordination, and an integrated supervisory system are necessary to ensure legal certainty, legal protection, and professional accountability in the performance of the offices of Notary and Land Deed Official.
