Abstract

This study aims to determine and analyze the legal status of the Indonesian Notary Association (INI) as a Notary Professional Organization after the enactment of Article 82 of the Notary Law (UUJN) in conjunction with the Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation Number 24 of 2025, which has caused polemics among legal experts regarding INI before and after the enactment of these regulations. This study is based on the situation of changes in the substantive legislation of the Notary Organization and will have implications for the enforcement of the code of ethics regarding changes and shifts in the legal status of INI as an organization. This study uses a normative legal research method in the form of a statute approach, and legal explanations (doctrine), as well as scientific information or literature and descriptive qualitative analysis of the law, especially primary, secondary, and tertiary laws, to determine the boundaries and potential of existing organizations, as well as normative legal consequences. The results of this study indicate that legally INI is a Legal Entity Association recognized as an association or association, namely as Staatsblad 1870 Number 64. Although the state will provide legitimacy and certain functions of authority are not attributable to public power, this shows that INI has not changed its status to a State Organ. However, the development of these regulations has caused INI's position to become a combination because it has a coaching and supervisory role related to state authority through the Notary Supervisory Board. This study concludes that INI remains an organization that does not receive public accountability, so there is a need for strengthening the limits of authority and harmonization between notary organizations and the government to avoid overlapping supervision and ensure legal certainty in the implementation of notary positions.

Abstract

General Background Land mafia practices remain a serious threat to land administration because they undermine legal certainty, damage public trust, and create economic and social losses for legitimate land rights holders. Specific Background In Indonesia, Land Deed Officials (PPAT) hold statutory authority to issue authentic deeds that become the legal basis for land rights transfer and registration. Knowledge Gap Existing land governance still faces administrative loopholes, weak verification, fragmented data systems, and unclear boundaries between administrative, civil, and criminal accountability for PPAT in land mafia cases. Aims This study analyzes the strategic position and legal accountability of PPAT in preventing land mafia practices and securing legal certainty over land rights. Results The study shows that PPAT functions as a gatekeeper of legality through prudence, strict identity and document verification, certificate checking, professional integrity, and compliance with legal procedures. PPAT accountability may arise administratively, civilly, or criminally depending on the level of fault, intent, negligence, and legal consequences. Digital land administration, interinstitutional data integration, transparent audit systems, and coordination among PPAT, ATR/BPN, law enforcement agencies, and local governments are necessary to close administrative gaps. Novelty The study frames PPAT gatekeeping, proportional accountability, digital verification, and institutional synergy as an integrated legal governance framework against land mafia practices. Implications Strengthening PPAT verification standards, legal protection for good-faith officials, and integrated digital oversight can support a more transparent, accountable, and legally certain land administration system. Highlights: PPAT occupies a central position in validating land transactions through authentic deed issuance. Accountability must be assessed proportionally across administrative, civil, and criminal dimensions. Digital records, data integration, audits, and institutional coordination can reduce document manipulation. Keywords : PPAT, Land Mafia, Legal Certainty, Legal Accountability
