Legal Analysis of Electronic Storage of Deed Minutes as an Effort to Prevent Damage to Deed Minutes Due to Force Majeure

Abstract

The Notary Office. To date, the storage of deed minutes by notaries is still carried out using conventional methods. Along with current technological advancements, many documents and archives have been converted into electronic forms. This transformation aims to facilitate more efficient and effective archive management and preservation. The research method employed in this study is normative legal research. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative methods. In relation to the electronic storage of deed minutes as an effort to prevent damage to deed minutes due to force majeure, notaries bear responsibility for properly and securely storing deed minutes, maintaining the confidentiality of deeds, and ensuring the integrity and authenticity of the deed minutes. However, notaries face several challenges, including limited storage space and the risk of loss or damage to deed minutes due to force majeure events. Therefore, in order to enhance notarial responsibility in the safekeeping of deed minutes, electronic storage of deed minutes may be implemented provided that legal harmonization among the relevant regulations has been established.
