Introduction

The notary deed is a crucial document in legal practice, particularly in Indonesia. According to Article 1 number 7 of the Notary Position Law (UUJN), the notary deed is defined as an authentic deed made by or before a notary in accordance with the provisions set in Law No. 30 of 2004. In this context, the notary has a significant responsibility in compiling a deed, which raises several important questions: how the process of birth of an authentic deed occurs, under what circumstances a notary can be held accountable for the deed he made, and what the legal consequences arise from the cancellation of authentic deeds?

The Process of Birth of an Authentic Deed

The process of forming an authentic deed begins with a request from the parties who need the deed. Notaries will carry out a series of examinations and clarification to ensure that all information provided is accurate and valid. After all the requirements are met, the notary will compile the deed by paying attention to the applicable legal rules. This authentic deed will be signed by relevant parties before a notary, which in turn indicates that the deed has legal force. It is essential for notaries to understand the importance of accuracy and validity in the process of creating an authentic deed.

The Role of Notaries in Compiling Deeds

Notaries play a vital role in compiling deeds, as they are responsible for ensuring that all information provided is accurate and valid. This involves conducting thorough examinations and clarifications to ensure that the deed meets the applicable legal rules. Notaries must also be aware of the potential consequences of errors or negligence in making deeds, as this can lead to civil accountability.

Notary Accountability

A notary can be asked for civil accountability if it is proven that they made mistakes or were negligent in making deeds. For example, if the deed made contains inaccurate information or is not in accordance with applicable law, then the notary can be asked to be responsible in accordance with the provisions in Article 52 paragraph (3) of UUJN. In this case, the notary must pay fees, compensation, and interest to the disadvantaged party. Therefore, it is essential for notaries to carry out their profession with caution and in accordance with the applicable code of ethics.

The Consequences of Cancellation of Notary Deeds

The cancellation of notary deeds can occur in several situations, especially if there is an agreement from the parties whose names are listed in the deed. When the deed was canceled, the deed lost legal force and no longer binds the parties. This means that all rights and obligations stated in the deed no longer apply. However, the cancellation process must be carried out legally and in accordance with applicable legal provisions so as not to cause disputes in the future.

The Importance of Notary Accountability

Notary accountability is crucial in maintaining the validity and legal force of authentic deeds. Notaries must be aware of their responsibilities and the potential consequences of errors or negligence in making deeds. By understanding the accountability of notaries, the community is expected to be able to further appreciate the importance of authentic deeds and the role of notaries in the Indonesian legal system.

Conclusion

From the results of research conducted in the village of Baru Deli Serdang Village, it can be concluded that during the notary carrying out their duties and professions in accordance with statutory regulations, code of ethics, and legal principles, the notary cannot be blamed. However, if it is proven that there is an error, the notary is legally responsible. This shows the importance of the role of the notary in maintaining the validity and legal force of authentic deeds, as well as the responsibilities they have in the process of making the deed.
