The Legal Consequences of Making Authentic Deeds that Do Not Meet the Notary Obligations: An Analysis of Decision Number 09/Pdt.G/2010/PN MBO

Introduction

The notary position plays a vital role in providing legal services to the community. Authentic deeds made by notaries are state documents that have strong legal force. The Notary Position Law (UUJN) regulates the rules regarding obligations, authority, and prohibition in carrying out their duties as notaries. However, violations of the UUJN, such as sending minuta deeds to other parties to be signed, can harm the community and harm the integrity of the notary profession. This study aims to analyze the legal consequences of making authentic deeds that do not meet the notary obligations, by reviewing decision number 09/Pdt.G/2010/PN MBO as a case example.

The Importance of Notary Obligations

Notaries have a crucial role in ensuring legal certainty, order, and legal protection. According to Hans Kelsen's responsibility theory, every legal subject has legal responsibilities that are in line with their obligations. In the context of a notary position, this legal responsibility is manifested in making authentic deeds that aim to ensure legal certainty, order, and legal protection. Notaries must be aware of their obligations and commit to carrying out their duties in accordance with the provisions of the UUJN.

The Normative Juridical Method

This study uses a normative juridical method with an analytical descriptive approach, using secondary data. The results showed that although Law No. 30 of 2004 concerning Notary Position had regulated the notary obligations in making authentic deeds, there were still violations in the field. These violations can occur due to an emotional relationship between the notary and the client, or because the client is a close friend of the notary, so that it has the potential to cause violations of the notary obligations.

The Case of Decision Number 09/Pdt.G/2010/PN MBO

In the decision number 09/Pdt.G/2010/PN MBO, Notary was declared violating his obligations by sending the Minuta Deed to the client. As a result, a Certificate of Paying Debt (SKMHT) Number: 103/2009 made by a notary was declared null and void and considered to have never existed. Authentic deeds made into a deed under the hand. The notary was declared violating Article 16 paragraph (1) letter l UUJN because he was not careful in carrying out his duties. This caution allows clients to falsify the deed. Therefore, the notary remains responsible for SKMHT Number: 103/2009 which he made because the making of the SKMHT contains elements of falsity and is contrary to the law.

The Importance of Awareness and Commitment

This study shows the importance of awareness and commitment of the notary to carry out their duties in accordance with the provisions of the UUJN. Emotional relationships and closeness with clients should not be a factor that ignores the obligation of notaries in maintaining integrity and validity of authentic deeds. Notaries must be aware of their obligations and commit to carrying out their duties in accordance with the provisions of the UUJN.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of notary obligations in making authentic deeds. Notaries must be aware of their obligations and commit to carrying out their duties in accordance with the provisions of the UUJN. Emotional relationships and closeness with clients should not be a factor that ignores the obligation of notaries in maintaining integrity and validity of authentic deeds. The case of decision number 09/Pdt.G/2010/PN MBO serves as a reminder of the importance of notary obligations and the consequences of violating them.

Notaries must be aware of their obligations and commit to carrying out their duties in accordance with the provisions of the UUJN.
