Abstract

Legal certainty regarding land for investors is an important form of legal protection in supporting investment activities in Indonesia. However, in practice, various problems still exist, such as overlapping certificates, land boundary disputes, and claims by third parties to land that has been granted a Right to Build (HGU), Right to Cultivate (HGU), and Right of Use (HP). This study employs a normative legal research method, utilising a regulatory and legal literature approach concerning legal certainty regarding land rights for investors. The findings indicate that legal protection for investors is realised through the granting of HGU, HGB, and HP rights under Government Regulation No. 18 of 2021, as well as land inspections via the Land Inspection Report to ensure the land’s status is ‘clean and clear’. Furthermore, the government provides streamlined services and land rights licensing under Law No. 25 of 2007 on Investment as a form of protection and legal certainty for investors in Indonesia.
