Ownership of a piece of land is proven by the existence of a land certificate. If the land is to be divided, it is necessary to go through the process of splitting the land certificate. This process is usually carried out when the land will be sold in part or the inheritance of land is divided. The part of the land that will be separated will be made a new legal proof of ownership. This step is important to ensure that the land being sold is clear and there will be no land disputes. To split the certificate, the applicant can come directly to the National Land Agency (BPN) office according to their respective domiciles.
