Juridical Analysis of Land Registration at the Land Office Based on Oral Buying and Selling (Study of Sigli District Court Decision Number 27/Pdt.G/2014/Pn. Sgi)

Through a literature review, secondary data from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials is used in this normative legal research with descriptive analysis. The study examines land registration regulations in Indonesian positive law, oral sale and purchase–based registration, and legal considerations in Sigli District Court Decision Number 27/Pdt.G/2014/PN.Sgi. Land registration is regulated under the Basic Agrarian Law, Government Regulation No. 24/1997, and PP No. 18/2021, emphasizing legal certainty, protection, and orderly administration. Oral sale and purchase cannot be directly registered as it fails to meet Article 37 of Government Regulation No. 24/1997 requiring an authentic deed by a PPAT. However, the court may recognize its validity if supported by evidence such as witness statements, payment receipts, and physical control of land, fulfilling Article 1320 of the Civil Code.
