Abstract:
The purposes of this study are to analyse the cause of the
degradation of notarial deed; analyse the juridical implications in
the proving process, if the Notarial deed is degraded from its
position as an authentic deed; and analyse the responsibility of a
Notary to the event of degradation to the deed he or she made.
This study is legal research, which uses statute, case, and
conceptual approaches. The legal material analysis was
performed through the descriptive perspective. The results
showed that the degradation of Notarial deed can occur if the
process in creating a Notarial deed is not exhaustive, and does not
fulfil the formal and material requirements of a deed, as stated in
the provisions of the Law on the Notary office. The position of a
Notarial deed as an authentic deed, and in the law upon proving,
occupies the position as a strong evidence because it has a perfect
and binding evidentiary value.
