Abstract

Instrumenter witnesses are witnesses who play an important role in the inauguration of a notarial deed so that if the existence of this deed witness is not fulfilled, then based on the law regarding the position of a notary, the deed only has the power of proof as an underhand deed. Instrumental witnesses who were present at the inauguration of the deed were included in the notarial field, but in the law regarding the position of a notary which is the only law regarding notarialty, it has not regulated the protection of the witness. This research is a normative legal research using a statute approach and case approach. The results showed the position of the instrumenter witness is only limited to qualifying the formality of the deed only.
