Today’s Legal Enlightenment (Wednesday, 6 July, 2022) – “NOTARY DEED”
Considering that the Notary basically only records what is stated by the party who appears before his/her and is not required to investigate the material truth of its contents, it is not appropriate for the judge to annul it (See: Supreme Court Decision No.702 K/Sip/1973, dated September 8, 1973). Notary may make mistakes regarding the contents of the deed due to wrong information (intentionally or not) from the parties. Presumably this error cannot be accounted for to the Notary because the contents of the deed have been confirmed to the parties by the Notary.
