<![CDATA[This study examines the legal validity of transferring a mortgage (Kredit Pemilikan Rumah/KPR) through an informal over-credit agreement and its implications for land certificate registration in Indonesia. In practice, many home buyers continue mortgage installments under private agreements with the original debtor, without obtaining approval from the bank or executing a notarial deed. Such arrangements often create legal uncertainty, particularly when the original debtor becomes unreachable, making it impossible to complete the formal process of certificate transfer. The case of the Cibinong District Court Decision No. 324/Pdt.G/2023/PN Cbi illustrates this problem. The plaintiff, who had fully paid the mortgage installments, requested the court to declare the over-credit agreement valid and to order the bank and the land office to transfer the certificate.

This decision highlights the importance of formal procedures in land and mortgage transactions to ensure legal certainty.]]>
