Legal Protection of the Owner of Land Rights, which has been issued its certificate on behalf of another party (study on the certificate of ownership number 1.022 in Tarutung District, North Tapanuli Regency)

Introduction

The issuance of land ownership certificates is a crucial process in ensuring that land rights are protected and respected. However, in many cases, the certificate issued does not reflect the actual ownership, leading to disputes and complications for the community. This study aims to investigate the legal protection of land rights owners whose certificates are published on behalf of other parties, using the certificate of ownership number 1,022 in Tarutung District, North Tapanuli Regency as a case study.

Background of the Problem

The main problem faced is how the certificate of property rights number 1,022 can be issued on land that is already owned by others. This has a major implication for landowners who feel their rights are violated. The certificate issued by the authorities shows a gap in the system that should protect land ownership. In addition, there are also questions about legal steps that can be taken by the landowner to resolve the dispute that arises.

The issuance of land ownership certificates is a complex process that involves multiple stakeholders, including government officials, landowners, and the Land Agency. However, in many cases, the certificate issued does not reflect the actual ownership, leading to disputes and complications for the community. This is a serious violation of law and highlights the need for a more effective legal protection system for land rights owners.

Research Methods

In this study, the empirical juridical approach with descriptive analysis specifications was used to collect relevant data. The study was conducted through direct observations in the field, which allows more accurate collection of information about practice in the field. The research methodology used in this study is based on the following steps:

Data Collection: The study collected data through direct observations in the field, including interviews with government officials, landowners, and other stakeholders.
Data Analysis: The collected data was analyzed using descriptive analysis specifications to identify the patterns and trends in the issuance of land ownership certificates.
Conclusion: The study concluded that the issuance of land ownership certificates is a complex process that involves multiple stakeholders, and that the certificate issued does not always reflect the actual ownership.

Research Findings

The results showed that the issuance of ownership certificates number 1,022 on land owned by others was a serious violation of law. Government officials, ranging from the village, sub-district, to the Land Agency, do not apply the principle of caution and accuracy that should be. Juridical data shows that legal protection is more given to legitimate landowners, not to unauthorized certificates.

The study found that the issuance of land ownership certificates is a complex process that involves multiple stakeholders, including government officials, landowners, and the Land Agency. However, in many cases, the certificate issued does not reflect the actual ownership, leading to disputes and complications for the community. This is a serious violation of law and highlights the need for a more effective legal protection system for land rights owners.

Analysis of Legal Protection

In this context, it is important to understand that legal protection should include all parties who have legal proof of ownership. However, in reality, the ownership certificate holder number 1,022 did not get adequate legal protection. Several factors that cause this include:

Wrong power: Publishing certificates are carried out by unauthorized officials or without following the correct procedures.
Petitioner's bad faith: applicant who is not transparent in delivering juridical data has the potential to cause disputes.
Lack of supervision: the lack of supervision and monitoring by the government and other stakeholders has led to the issuance of unauthorized certificates.

Recommendation

From these findings, researchers recommend several steps to improve the legal protection system for land rights:

Legal Supervision and Counseling: Active efforts are needed to provide education to the public about their rights to land.
Bureaucratic Reform: There needs to be reforms in institutions that issue land certificates to prevent the same mistakes in the future.
Government Responsibility: The government must be more responsible in issuing certificates and protecting legal land owners' rights.

With these steps, it is expected that legal protection of the owner of land rights can be increased and land disputes that do not need to be minimized. Through this effort, it is hoped that the community can have better legal certainty related to their land rights.
