Land is an important aspect of human life. The large number of people who want
to own land has led to a dispute between individuals in ownership of land rights.
Indonesia as an agricultural country considers land as an important thing because
it is a necessity that cannot be separated from Indonesian society. The UUPA has
been prepared by the Government of Indonesia to regulate the ownership or control
of land rights. The birth of UUPA is expected to lead to a decrease in the emergence
of disputes between parties. The high interest in the ownership of land rights and
the imperfect land registration system can cause multiple certificates to appear on
the same object, causing disputes. Problems arise when the land registered to be
executed by the bank turns out to also belong to someone else's land, so the question
arises as to who has the original certificate. The research method used is empirical
legal research using primary legal sources and secondary legal sources,
interviews, and literature studies. The results of this study are the duplication of
certificates carried out by the developer of a housing estate when the land
registration system is not perfect, then the certificates that have been registered
repeatedly are used as collateral at the bank and other certificates are sold to other
parties. The settlement of this dual certificate is through non-litigation or by
deliberation which causes the developer to pay its obligations to the Bank and
return the money belonging to the land buyer.
