<![CDATA[The use of nominee agreements between foreign nationals and Indonesian citizens is still found in land transactions in Indonesia. Through this arrangement, foreign nationals are able to control land that, under the Basic Agrarian Law, may only be owned by Indonesian citizens. This practice is not in line with the nationality principle under Indonesian land law. Therefore, Notaries have an important role in preventing the misuse of nominee agreements by ensuring that every deed they prepare complies with the applicable laws and regulations. This study examines the role of Notaries in preventing the misuse of nominee agreements based on Decision Number 129/Pdt.G/2021/PN.Btm. This study examines three issues: the legal regulation governing the role of Notaries in preventing the misuse of nominee agreements between foreign nationals and Indonesian citizens, the implementation of the Notary's role in practice, and the obstacles encountered together with the proposed solutions. This is normative legal research using statutory, conceptual, case, and practice-oriented approaches. The research uses primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials collected through library research and supported by interviews. The data were analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical method based on legislation, legal literature, and Decision Number 129/Pdt.G/2021/PN.Btm. The study finds that the preventive role of Notaries is regulated under the Law on Notarial Office, the Basic Agrarian Law, and the Indonesian Civil Code. However, there are no specific legal provisions governing nominee agreements. In practice, Notaries prevent the misuse of nominee agreements by applying the prudential principle, verifying the identity of the parties, examining supporting documents, and providing legal advice before preparing an authentic deed. The main obstacles are the limited authority of Notaries to identify the actual legal relationship between the parties and the absence of clear legal rules on nominee agreements. This study recommends improving the existing legal regulations, strengthening the supervision and professionalism of Notaries, and increasing public legal awareness to prevent the misuse of nominee agreements .]]>
