PELAKSANAAN PERAN PEJABAT PEMBUAT AKTA TANAH DALAM UPAYA MEMINIMALISASI SENGKETA TANAH DI KOTA PADANG

Abstract

The role of Land Deed Officials (PPAT) in minimizing land disputes is very important, because land cases often occur in Indonesia, especially in Padang City. The problem formulation includes: 1) How is the implementation of the role of PPAT in efforts to minimize land disputes in Padang City? 2) What are the challenges faced by PPAT in efforts to minimize land disputes? 3) What are the efforts of PPAT in facing these challenges? The research method used is sociological juridical, with primary and secondary data sources. Data collection techniques were carried out through interviews and document studies, then analyzed qualitatively. Research Results 1) The role of PPAT is to carefully examine documents, provide legal explanations to the parties, and ensure that the deed is sent to the BPN for registration. 2) PPAT faces challenges, low public legal awareness, land transactions that do not go through official channels, problematic documents, and limitations in the land information system. 3) To overcome these challenges, PPAT conducts legal socialization, coordinates with related agencies such as BPN, and begins to implement a digital-based work system or a neater and more traceable recording. By optimizing the role of Land Deed Officials (PPAT), it is hoped that legal certainty will be created and the potential for land disputes in Padang City will be reduced.
