<![CDATA[Notaries, as public officials, hold the constitutive authority to create authentic deeds with full evidentiary force. However, in practice, authentic deeds are found to contain legal defects, both formal and material, which are detrimental to interested parties (Adjie, 2008, p. 23). This study aims to analyze the form of notary civil liability for authentic deeds containing legal defects from the perspective of contract law and Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 30 of 2004 concerning the Office of Notaries (UUJN-P). The method used is normative juridical with a statutory, conceptual, and case-based approach. The results of the study indicate that notary civil liability can arise through two channels: contractual liability based on Article 1243 of the Civil Code and delictual liability based on Article 1365 of the Civil Code (Fuady, 2013, p. 10). Legal defects in a deed can lead to a decrease in evidentiary force, cancellation, or even nullity, opening the door to a lawsuit for damages against a notary. This study recommends harmonizing the norms between the UUJN-P and the Civil Code and strengthening the oversight mechanism by the Notary Supervisory Board.]]>
