This study aims to analyze the limits of the legal liability of Notaries/Land Deed Making Officials (PPAT) to deeds that are canceled by the court, especially in determining whether the cancellation of the deed is caused by the error or negligence of the Notary/PPAT or by the actions of the parties. This research uses normative legal research methods with legislative, conceptual, and case approaches through studies of the Notary Position Law (UUJN), the Civil Code (KUHPerdata), and relevant court decisions. The results of the study show that the cancellation of the deed does not automatically give rise to legal liability for the Notary/PPAT. Liability can only be imposed if it is proven that there is an error, negligence, or violation of legal obligations and provisions in the performance of their duties and authorities. On the other hand, if the cancellation occurs due to the fault or deeds of the parties without the fault of the Notary/PPAT in carrying out his position, the cancellation does not in itself become the basis for imposing liability on the Notary/PPAT. The liability that arises can be in the form of civil, administrative, criminal, and ethical liability according to the nature and level of the violation committed. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out duties professionally, carefully, and in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations to maintain the authenticity and evidentiary power of the deed.
