Penyelesaian Sengketa Kewarisan Menurut Peraturan Perundang-Undangan Di Indonesia

Abstract

Inheritance occurs when the owner of the asset dies and there is a process to determine how the asset will be distributed or transferred to heirs or other legal parties. The inheritance process is often governed by inheritance laws which can vary between countries, regions, or cultures. Inheritance law determines who has rights to inherited assets, in what proportion, and under what conditions. This can include direct heirs such as children, wives, husbands, or more distant heirs such as grandchildren, parents, siblings, and so on. Inheritance law in Indonesia is based on a mixed legal system that combines elements of customary law and civil law. In 1987, the Indonesian government passed Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Regulations on Agrarian Principles, which regulates land and inheritance issues. Then, in 2010, Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning the Establishment of Legislation concerning Inheritance in Indonesia was issued to further open up inheritance law in this country. The aim of this research is to explain the settlement of inheritance according to laws and regulations in Indonesia. This research uses descriptive research, namely research that describes or explains the problems discussed using a juridical-empirical approach. The results in this research Law Number 12 of 2011 were used to form further legislative regulations regarding inheritance in Indonesia. This provides a legal basis for regulating inheritance law in that country. This law regulates all aspects related to inheritance, including procedures, distribution rules, and all related matters which include the rights and obligations of heirs. The role of notaries in resolving inheritance in Indonesia is that notaries often act as custodians of legal documents, including inheritance deeds, wills and other related documents. This ensures the security of the document and makes it easy to access if needed in the future.
