Abstract

In an authentic deed made or witnessed by a notary, appearers must possess legal standing and have the capacity and legality to take legal actions. The power and lawfulness of the appearer must be supported by a correct identity. The signature and fingerprint of the appearer are used to confirm the legitimacy of the deed. This paper aims to analyze the legal standing of appearers in authentic deeds made or witnessed by a notary utilizing signatures and fingerprints of the appearer as evidence and the legal consequences of not fulfilling such a legal standing. This is normative legal research using data collected through the literature study. The results indicate that signatures and fingerprints of the appearer are the main requirements that make authentic deeds the perfect evidence, in addition to other requirements regarding objects in the deeds. Meanwhile, failure to fulfill legal standing in authentic deeds can result in a defective legal action stated in the deed. The injured party has the right to terminate the deed and sue the notary for interest and fines.
