The Probative Value of Private Deeds Registered in a Notary's Special Register (A Study of Court Decision Number 29/Pdt.G./2019/PN Pya)

Abstract

The registration of private deeds in legal context is the recording of underhand documents by a notary in a special register to provide legal certainty regarding their existence and date, without converting them into authentic deeds. This normative legal research analyzes the legal status and evidentiary strength of registered private deeds, examining Court Decision No. 29/Pdt.G./2019/PN.Pya. Using secondary data from legal documents and regulations, the study finds that registration under the Notarial Law provides administrative formality and legal protection. However, registered private deeds retain their original nature, with probative value depending on signatories' acknowledgment. Notaries are responsible for procedural accuracy but not content validity.
