Tanggung Jawab Hukum Pejabat Pembuat Akta Tanah dalam Pendaftaran Peralihan Hak atas Tanah yang Menimbulkan Sengketa

Abstract

The transfer of land rights through sale and purchase must be evidenced by a deed drawn up by a Land Deed Official (PPAT) as the basis for registration. However, in practice, land disputes may still arise even when the transfer has been formalized in a PPAT deed. This study aims to analyze the legal consequences of land rights transfer registration that leads to disputes, as well as the legal liability of PPAT for errors or negligence. This research employs a normative juridical method using primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The approaches applied include statutory and conceptual approaches, with legal analysis conducted through grammatical, and systematic. The results indicate that errors or negligence in the preparation of deeds or registration process may result in the annulment of the sale and purchase deed, cancellation of the transfer registration, or the deed being declared legally invalid by the court. In such cases, PPAT may bear administrative, civil, and ethical liability in accordance with applicable laws and professional codes of conduct.
