Abstract

A legal uncertainty faced by Notaries when they are summoned or charged in criminal proceedings related to their official duties will be something that worries them. As public officials, Notaries often become suspects in cases involving authentic deeds that were made under lawful authority. Many of these cases arise not from intentional wrongdoing, but from misinterpretations of professional acts as criminal offenses. The main legal issue lies in the ineffective protection mechanism stipulated in Article 66 of the Notary Law. The concept of automatic approval (fictitious positive consent) by the Notary Honorary Council (MKN) creates a serious gap in safeguarding the Notary’s position. Additionally, the lack of substantive assessment standards in the MKN's review process reduces the meaningful protection of Notaries’ legal rights. This research uses a normative juridical approach, analyzing legal protection theory and the concept of justice in professional accountability. The findings suggest the need for regulatory reform, including amendments to the notarial law and institutional strengthening of MKN’s authority. A significant recommendation is the formation of a legal assistance unit within the notarial professional organization to represent and defend notaries under legal threat. The ethical independence of Notaries must be preserved, especially when facing undue pressure from clients, state actors, or law enforcement. Legal protection should not only focus on procedures but also uphold the integrity and neutrality of the notarial profession. These legal improvements are essential to prevent the misuse of criminal law against Notaries and to support a more just legal framework.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms of notarial liability for deeds containing false information and to determine the legal consequences for deeds that are later proven to be false or not in accordance with applicable provisions. It also examines how the theory of error applies to alleged false information in authentic deeds prepared by notaries. This study uses a normative research method, employing a statutory approach and a case study approach. The legal material collection technique used is a literature study. This legal material analysis technique is based on a normative juridical perspective. The aim is to answer the problems discussed. The first research result: legal liability for parties containing false information in notarial deeds includes criminal liability in the form of imprisonment and civil liability in the form of compensation and administrative sanctions, as stipulated in Law No. 2 of 2014 concerning Notary Positions, resulting in the deed being legally void and becoming a private deed. Second Research Findings: Notaries cannot be held legally accountable without fault, even if there is an alleged violation of the law.
