Introduction

The Land Deed Making Officer (PPAT) plays a crucial role in the sale and purchase of land, as they are responsible for compiling authentic deeds related to land or property rights. However, negligence in making these deeds can cause significant losses for other parties, as seen in the case of the Supreme Court Decision Number 156K/PDT/2020. This study aims to analyze PPAT's legal accountability when the Deed of Sale and Purchase of Land inheritance made before it was canceled by the Supreme Court. Furthermore, this research examines the extent of legal protection for buyers for negligence carried out by PPAT, as well as whether the Supreme Court's decision in number 156K/PDT/2020 has provided adequate protection for buyers.

The Role of PPAT in the Sale and Purchase of Land

PPAT is a public official who has the authority to compile authentic deeds related to certain legal actions relating to land or property rights. The task of PPAT requires them to work carefully, carefully, and responsibly, because the deeds they make are official evidence for the transfer of land rights. Unfortunately, negligence in making this deed can cause losses for other parties, as happened in the case of the Supreme Court Decision Number 156K/PDT/2020. In this case, PPAT was declared negligent in making a deed, so that the buyer suffered a financial loss due to the loss of payment money and land they were supposed to buy.

The Importance of Legal Protection for Buyers

The sale and purchase of land is a complex process that involves multiple parties, including the buyer, seller, and PPAT. However, despite the importance of this process, there is a lack of legal protection for buyers in the event of negligence carried out by PPAT. This lack of protection can lead to significant financial losses for buyers, as seen in the case of the Supreme Court Decision Number 156K/PDT/2020. Therefore, it is essential to provide adequate legal protection for buyers in the context of buying and selling inheritance land.

The Supreme Court Decision Number 156K/PDT/2020

The Supreme Court Decision Number 156K/PDT/2020 has provided legal protection for heirs whose rights are violated, but it has not fully accommodated protection for buyers. The Supreme Court canceled the sale and purchase deed without providing compensation that should be received by the buyer of the seller and PPAT. This decision highlights the need for stronger legal protection for buyers in the context of buying and selling inheritance land.

The Need for Strengthening Legal Protection for Buyers

The results of this study show that PPAT has responsibility both civil and administratively for its negligence in compiling a land sale and purchase deed without the approval of all heirs. This shows that buyers who intend both are entitled to protection, in accordance with the provisions in jurisprudence and the Civil Code (Kuhperdata). This protection can be in the form of compensation, interest, and benefits that should be obtained from these objects if the land sale and purchase agreement is canceled, in accordance with the provisions of Article 1246, 1267, 1471, and 1492 of the Civil Code.

Conclusion

This research shows that although there are legal protection efforts for those who are harmed, there are still gaps in their implementation. For this reason, it is essential for legislative and judicial institutions to work together in improving the legal system related to buying and selling land, so that protection for buyers can be more guaranteed in the future. Furthermore, this study highlights the need for stronger legal protection for buyers in the context of buying and selling inheritance land, particularly in terms of providing adequate compensation for the losses they experience due to PPAT's negligence.

Recommendations

Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made:

Strengthening Legal Protection for Buyers: The government should strengthen legal protection for buyers in the context of buying and selling inheritance land, particularly in terms of providing adequate compensation for the losses they experience due to PPAT's negligence.
