Akibat Hukum Akta PPAT yang Dipalsukan oleh Pegawai Kantor PPAT (Studi Kasus Putusan PN Mataram Nomor 16/Pid.B/2018/PN Mtr).

Abstract

A deed is one of the most important documents required when an individual claims ownership of an asset, whether movable or immovable. In land ownership, deeds are indispensable, as their creation serves to provide evidence of legitimate ownership. Deeds are prepared by Land Deed Officials (PPAT), who are sworn in to perform their duties professionally and within their legal mandates. In carrying out their responsibilities, a PPAT often requires assistance from office employees. However, in practice, some employees of PPAT offices deviate from their duties, even committing forgery of deeds. The desire for greater financial gain motivates some PPAT office employees to engage in actions that harm both the PPAT and their clients, actions that often fall under the category of criminal document forgery. This thesis discusses the case that occurred between 2015 and the end of 2016, involving the defendant FERAINTAN PUJIAPRIANI, an employee of the Notary and Land Deed Official, Ms. NANI SURYANI, S.H., M.Kn. The research examines the legal process and the status of the forged deeds under the law. Furthermore, it explores the legal consequences faced by PPAT office employees who engage in such acts under the applicable laws. This study employs a normative juridical method, focusing on legislative regulations and previous research studies.
