The National Consumer Affairs Center (NCAC), a private body that works with the Japanese government to protect consumer rights, advises Japanese citizens to share some data as "digital inheritance." It is recommended that the data be written down in the inheritance letter to prevent unnecessary use of digital services after they die. This recommendation was conveyed by NCAC, because many residents there tried to cancel subscriptions to services registered by those closest to them, before they died. Meanwhile, to cancel the service, you need a username and password which are usually kept secret from anyone.[1]

Therefore, NCAC advises Japanese citizens to share a number of digital data, including smartphone keys and certain account details, to make it easier to cancel digital services used during their lifetime. In more detail, NCAC recommends that the public take the following four steps:[2]

1. Make sure family members can unlock your smartphone or computer in case of an emergency.
2. Save your subscription list, user ID, and password. 
3. Consider entering those details into a document that can be accessed when you take your last breath. 
4. Use a service that allows you to designate someone to have access to your smartphone and other accounts after you die.

It is recommended that this recommendation be carried out now, considering that the process of completing the administration if the person concerned is gone takes quite a long time. Moreover, with the large number of smartphones used by each person, it can increase the complexity of completing the administration of each subscription service, as well as draining the credit card used for the subscription. Apart from making it easier to manage digital heritage, this recommendation is also considered to reduce the burden on data centers which ultimately minimizes environmental damage due to storage in the cloud.[3]

In Japan, the "Dead Man's Switch" application is available which allows users to determine which contacts can be contacted when they are detected as being inactive for a long time or are indicated to be dead.  Several digital platforms such as 'Meta' also provide a feature to close the accounts of deceased users, including on Facebook. Additionally, users can include legal contacts or heirs to manage the account when they die. Apple also has a similar feature, namely 'Legacy Contact', which allows users to assign someone to access their iCloud account data after they die. Unfortunately, not all platforms accommodate this feature. Apart from that, managing accounts will also be easier if you use a directly related account.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

The founder of a Singapore oil trading company, Lim Oon Kuin, faced charges. Lim Oon Kuin was charged with defrauding HSBC bank out of millions of dollars. Lim Oon Kuin has been involved in the law since last May. He is considered to have damaged Singapore's reputation as a leading oil trading center in Asia. He owned a company called Hin Leong Trading, the largest oil trading company in Asia, before it collapsed in 2020. District Court Judge Toh Han Li is scheduled to sentence Lim today. Prosecutors demanded that Lim be sentenced to 20 years in prison.[1]

"This is one of the most serious cases of trade finance fraud ever prosecuted in Singapore," said the Public Prosecutor. Lim faced a total of 130 criminal charges involving hundreds of millions of dollars, but prosecutors tried and convicted him on only three counts. The second was charged with defrauding banking giant HSBC and the third for encouraging a Hin Leong executive to falsify documents. Prosecutors also said he tricked HSBC into disbursing almost US$ 112 million or the equivalent of IDR 1.7 trillion (exchange rate Rp. 15,850). The defendant told the bank that his company had signed oil sales contracts with two companies.[2]

"This transaction was actually a fabrication, made at the behest of the defendant. This seriously tarnishes Singapore's hard-earned reputation as a leading oil trading center in Asia," emphasized the prosecutor. As an additional information, Lim is now 83 years old. He founded the company in 1965. The company played a key role in helping Singapore become a leading ship refueling port in the world. However, this collapsed in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic plunged the oil market into unprecedented chaos.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Because of Criticizing Animal Care Centers, An Irish Tourist Arrested In Dubai

An Irish tourist didn't expect his holiday to end in disaster. It all started with online criticism of dog grooming companies. Craig Ballentine (33) worked as a dog groomer in Dubai for six months. She was having difficulty at work and left a negative online review about the treatment center and its experience. He then went on holiday to Abu Dhabi. However, when he arrived there, he was arrested by the authorities. A Detained in Dubai campaign group said that Ballentine faced prison time due to the UAE's cybercrime laws. Yes, the practice of online criticism is a cyber crime in the UAE.[1]

"Craig has been told by local lawyers that there is virtually no chance of the case against him being dropped," said Radha Stirling, a member of the organization. "The recently enacted cybercrime law in the UAE is a nightmare for foreigners. It is enough for a whistleblower to simply tell the police that someone posted something offensive or abusive," he said. Stirling said that Ballentine's parents were so worried that she didn't dare to give the news. Stirling even asked Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill to send a statement on his behalf. "Craig needs to go home and get to work. It's appalling that the authorities would allow such a frivolous crime report to ensnare visitors in the system," he said.[2]

"We have contacted Craig's local representative, Michelle O'Neill, to ask her to make a diplomatic statement to the UAE ambassador and the FCDO." Previously, the same case happened to Tori Towey. He was finally free after receiving help from O'Neill. "We hope he can help in the same way Ireland helped Tori Towey come home," he concluded.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

TEOFL Requirements for Civil Servant Candidate Tests Challenged to the Indonesia Constitutional Court

An Indonesian citizen named Hanter Oriko Siregar filed a lawsuit against the Law on Employment and the Law on State Civil Apparatus (ASN) to the Constitutional Court (MK). The lawsuit filed was related to the Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL). The lawsuit has been registered with case number: 159/PUU-XXII/2024. In his lawsuit, he asked the Constitutional Court to regulate that there is no longer a TOEFL requirement for Civil Servant Candidate tests or seeking work in private companies in Indonesia.[1]

He argued that the TOEFL requirement had prevented him from taking the CPNS/"Civil Servant Candidate" test at a number of agencies in 2024. He said there were agencies that made TOEFL with a minimum score of 450 an absolute requirement and had to be attached when registering for the CPNS/"Civil Servant Candidate" test. He also admitted that he could not achieve these requirements. He admitted that he had tried taking the test four times and the maximum score he got was 370.[2]

"That the application of conditions by requiring job seekers to master English well is proven by the existence of TOEFL as a mandatory and absolute requirement to be fulfilled as prospective CPNS/"Civil Servant Candidate" participants in each state/government agency as well as to apply for work in private agencies/companies as the Petitioner has mentioned in above is that it has harmed the Petitioner's constitutional rights which have been protected and guaranteed in Article 27 paragraph (1) and Article 28D paragraph (2), Article 28H paragraph (2), and Article 28I (2) of the Constitution of 1945 as the 1945 Constitution is the basis for all sources of law that apply in Indonesia," he said.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Massachusetts Court Jurisprudence: Wedding Ring Must Be Returned If Marriage is Void

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "A Young Woman From England, Falls In Love With a Con Man Named Lord Bertie", "Amazing, Public Road Transformed Into Garage", you may read also "A Wife in India Asked For a Divorce Because Her Husband Rarely Bathed" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'Massachusetts Court Jurisprudence: Wedding Ring Must Be Returned If Marriage is Void'.

Massachusetts' highest court recently ruled that an engagement ring worth US $ 70,000 or around IDR. 1 billion must be returned to its giver, without considering who caused the marriage to be annulled.  This case involves Bruce Johnson, who gave the diamond ring to Caroline Settino. Their relationship ended after Johnson found suspicious messages on Settino's cellphone. Johnson ultimately broke off the engagement after finding messages showing Settino's communications with another man.[1]

Initially, a lower court allowed Settino to keep the ring, finding Johnson had wrongly accused him of having an affair.  However, appeals courts, and ultimately the Massachusetts Supreme Court, reversed the ruling, stating that Johnson was entitled to get the ring back. The court explained that 'the engagement ring was a conditional gift related to the marriage agreement'.  If the marriage is annulled, the giver of the ring is entitled to its return, regardless of who was responsible for the end of the relationship. This ruling ends the long-standing standard of considering fault in determining entitlement to an engagement ring.[2]  

Following modern legal trends, Massachusetts courts have now joined most other jurisdictions in the US in rejecting the concept of fault in determining ownership rights to an engagement ring if the marriage is void.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

A Young Woman From England, Falls In Love With a Con Man Named Lord Bertie

Megan Clark, a young woman from England, initially thought that she would marry a rich businessman. But in the end he found out that the man was a romantic con artist who had left him tens of thousands of dollars in debt. Megan, who is 27 years old and works as a manager in a bar on the Isle of Wight, meets a handsome man called Lord Bertie. Bertie claims to be a descendant of the famous family that owned the Underwood typewriter company. His luxurious lifestyle fascinates Megan. Even though they had only been dating for a month, Bertie immediately invited her to live with him in his luxury villa. After five months, Bertie proposed to Megan, and she accepted.[1]

Because of love, Megan leaves her job and joins Bertie's business claiming to be a clock expert. However, over time, Megan began to suspect some inconsistencies. Letters with unknown names started coming to their house. Unexpectedly, when Megan checked further, it turned out that the name on the credit card in her future husband's wallet was Robert Madjeski, who is a fraudster. After searching on the internet, Megan found out that Lord Bertie was Robert Madjeski's alias. This explains Bertie's request not to post photos of himself on social media, because many people are looking for them. Megan finally realized that everything was a lie. Bertie is not of noble birth, has nothing to do with the world of horology, and all the treasures he displays are simply rentals. In fact, Bertie has trapped Megan in debt amounting to $40,000 or around IDR. 623 million by opening a credit card in her name. The diamond engagement ring that Megan wanted to sell to pay off the debt also turned out to be fake.[2]

When Megan confronted Bertie two weeks before their wedding, he simply left her alone. Heartbroken, Megan is forced to cancel the wedding and look for a way to pay off her debt. After posting her story on social media, Megan received lots of messages from people who had also fallen victim to Bertie's scam. Surprisingly, there was no particular pattern in the type or age of his victims, indicating that Bertie was only looking for profit and never had genuine feelings. Robert Madejski, known by many aliases, was eventually arrested on other charges, but managed to escape from prison while serving a five-year sentence. Even though many years have passed, Megan still feels afraid of one day meeting the fraudster again.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

An Indonesian Citizen was Arrested by United States Customs Officers on Suspicion of Counterfeit Money

United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers arrested an Indonesian citizen named Tuma Thierry Henry on suspicion of counterfeiting money. Henry was arrested for carrying banknotes often called 'black dollars'. Quoted from the official CBP website, CBP officers found 'black money fraud' banknotes worth USD 28,500 in Thierry Henry's luggage at Washington Dulles International Airport. Washington Airports Authority Metropolitan Police officers then charged Henry (50), who is an Indonesian citizen, on charges of forgery which is a criminal offense (VA Code 18.2-171). The fraudulent black money bills appear to resemble US dollars in size and sometimes feel the same.[1]

However, the money will appear like black, blue or white sheets of paper if examined under black or ultraviolet light. In black money scams, criminals often resort to chemically altering or coloring banknotes to avoid detection by customs authorities. Perpetrators often cheat on the grounds that they need cash and then offer to sell the banknotes at a discount. Perpetrators often mix real money with black money to convince the victim.[2]

Henry arrived at Dulles airport Wednesday evening on a plane from Lome, Togo. During the second baggage inspection, CBP officers discovered two empty black paper bundles and one empty white paper bundle each wrapped in ribbon with the words 'One Hundred' written on it. The officer then counted a total of 285 sheets of paper in the three bundles. The paper size is very similar to US banknotes. CBP officers examined the bills under ultraviolet light and noticed similarities between the images of the front and back of the 100 US dollar bill. CBP officers then confiscated the illegal notes and handed over the notes and Henry to Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police officers.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

The IDR 3.1 Trillion Royalty Issue Limp Bizkit Finally Sues Universal Music Group

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Amazing, Public Road Transformed Into Garage", "Be Careful Using AI, You Will be in Trouble for Citing Non-existent Jurisprudence", you may read also "Due to Low Sales Product, Tupperware Files for Bankruptcy" and on this occasion we will discuss about 'The IDR 3.1 Trillion Royalty Issue Limp Bizkit Finally Sues Universal Music Group'.

Limp Bizkit, a nu metal band that was very famous in the late 90s and early 2000s, recently took a big step by suing Universal Music Group (UMG). They accused these major labels of withholding the royalties they should receive. The amount mentioned in the lawsuit is no joke, up to USD 200 million or around Rp. 3.1 trillion![1]

Durst and his friends officially filed this lawsuit in Los Angeles Federal Court on Tuesday (8/10/2024). They accused UMG of deliberately making regulations that made royalties for artists like them 'unclear'. Just imagine, according to lawyer Fred Durst, even though Limp Bizkit's popularity is on the rise, they have not received royalties since August 2024. In fact, their albums have sold millions of copies, and there are millions of streams from Spotify alone every month. "Our comeback was extraordinary, but until now we haven't gotten a penny from UMG," stressed Durst. UMG also told Fred Durst that royalties worth USD 43 million or Rp. 672 billion were being withheld because they felt that Limp Bizkit still had a large debt that had not been paid off. But, strangely, even though their popularity has soared again with music sales increasing 68 percent, the money still doesn't disburse. Not just Limp Bizkit, you know! There are hundreds of other artists who Limp Bizkit claims have suffered a similar fate.[2]

Limp Bizkit itself has been active for almost three decades, with members currently consisting of Fred Durst, John Otto, Sam Rivers, Wes Borland, and DJ Lethal. They are famous for songs such as My Way, Re-Arranged, Break Stuff, Take a Look Around, and Eat You Alive. Even though they went on hiatus from 2006 to 2009, now they are active again and getting more hype. So far, Universal Music Group has not provided a statement.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Amazing, Public Road Transformed Into Garage

An interesting case occurred in South Sulawesi, a resident's car garage was built on half of a public road. The resident's house is located on Rappokalling Raya Street, Lorong Anda, Tammua Village, Tallo District. The 2-story house is right next to the Reformation Toll Road. The parking lot is made of an iron frame with a 3 meter high spandex roof. An iron fence was built around half of the road to the left of the house.[1]

As a result of this parking, the road with a width of around 4 meters can only be passed by motorbike riders. Meanwhile, cars cannot pass, even though this road is connected to the Rappokalling Raya axis road. Tallo Police Chief Commissioner Syamsuardi said that the parking owner admitted that he had been using half of the road for 6 years. Agus relaxed about using public facilities on the grounds that he had never been reprimanded so far.[2]

The Sector Police Chief together with the Tammua Village Head, Binmas and Babinsa have gone to the location to explain to the owner that the parking lot has used the road which is a public facility. The parking lot also disturbs road users because cars cannot pass. "I said I'm sorry, because it has gone viral, can we dismantle it? If you want to do it voluntarily, please do so. We explained that we are using this road, a public facility," he said.[3]

There are regulations that state that anyone who commits an act that disrupts the function of the road within the useful space of the road will be subject to sanctions. This is stated in Law Number 38 of 2004 concerning Roads, Article 63 Paragraph 1.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

A Wife in India Asked For a Divorce Because Her Husband Rarely Bathed

An Indian woman recently filed for divorce from her husband of just 40 days. She claimed that her husband only showered once or twice per month. The unnamed woman from Agra, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, went to a local family counseling center to complain about her husband's poor personal hygiene. She said that her husband rarely bathed, wore dirty clothes and suffered from bad breath. She could barely stand near the man, let alone be intimate with him. As a result, after only 40 days of marriage, the wife asked for a divorce.[1]

When questioned by the counseling center, the husband, Rajash, admitted that he only bathes once or twice a month and cleans himself by sprinkling Gangajal water (holy water from the Ganges river) once a week. One counselor at a family center in Agra told reporters that the young couple began getting into heated arguments about the husband's hygiene a few weeks after the wedding. Finally, the wife left their household and returned to live with her family. Soon, her family filed a dowry harassment complaint at the local Police Station and asked for a divorce. The abused wife said that Rajash had bathed 6 times in the last 40 days, a little more than usual, but only because she insisted. Hearing the wife's decision to divorce him, the husband promised to improve his hygiene and even bathe every day, but the woman's family said that he did not want to reconcile with her.[2]

As strange as it may sound, this is not the first time a couple's poor hygiene has led to divorce.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

4 Big Companies That Went Bankrupt in Indonesia

Previously, the www.hukumindo.com platform has talk about "Due to Low Sales Product, Tupperware Files for Bankruptcy", "Be Careful Using AI, You Will be in Trouble for Citing Non-existent Jurisprudence", you may read also "5 Most Bizarre Court Cases in US History" and on this occasion we will discuss about '4 Big Companies That Went Bankrupt in Indonesia'.

Running a business does require careful calculations. If not, any company of any size could go bankrupt. In the past, there were a number of giant companies present in Indonesia. But unfortunately, the company did not last long because it went bankrupt due to a number of reasons. One of the factors that caused a company to go bankrupt was due to large debts. Apart from that, there are several other causes that cause businesses to close down.[1]

So, what are the big companies that went bankrupt in Indonesia?[2]

1. PT. Sariwangi Agricultural Estate Agency (SAEA). PT Sariwangi Agricultural Estate Agency (SAEA) is a tea company that has been established since 1973. This company, which is famous for its tea bag products, was declared bankrupt in 2018. Sariwangi was declared bankrupt because he was unable to pay the credit installments owed to Bank ICBC Indonesia. It is known that Sariwangi's total debt to ICBC Bank at that time reached US$ 20,505,166 or around IDR. 316 billion. Unilever itself only bought the Sariwangi brand, not the company, in 1989. Even though it is the holder of the Sariwangi brand, Unilever still sources supplies from SAEA.
2. Nyonya Meneer. Nyonya Meneer is a well-known herbal medicine company in Indonesia. Even though her business is already big, unfortunately, Nyonya Meneer was declared bankrupt by the Semarang District Court (PN) in 2017. There are a number of factors that cause Nyonya Meneer's business to falter, ranging from internal disputes in the successor family, a very large debt burden, to a lack of innovation in its products. On June 8 2015, the Postponement of Debt Payment Obligations (PKPU) between debtors and 35 creditors was declared valid by a judge at the Semarang Commercial Court. In this case, Hendrianto Bambang Santoso, who is one of the creditors from Sukoharjo, is suing Nyonya Meneer for bankruptcy because she did not settle the debt according to the peace proposal. Hendrianto only received IDR 118 million of the total debt of IDR 7.04 billion.
3. 7-Eleven. For young people in Jakarta, of course they are familiar with 7-Eleven or often called 'Sevel'. This convenience store was very famous in the 2010s because it served various foods and drinks, one of which was Slurpee. But unfortunately, Sevel did not last long in Indonesia. In 2017, 7-Eleven was officially declared bankrupt. The subsidiary of PT Modern Internasional Tbk (MDRN) closed all Sevel outlets in Indonesia. The main reason is because of the large operational costs that must be incurred.
4. Kodak. For those of you who love photography, you are certainly familiar with this brand. Kodak has been around since 1892 and is one of the pioneers in the photography industry. Unfortunately, Kodak's big name had to disappear because it was officially declared bankrupt in 2012. Kodak was unable to compete with competitors who offered digital products amidst very rapid technological advances. Apart from that, Kodak is also reluctant to innovate for its business in order to make a profit.

Tupperware Brands Corp filed for bankruptcy after the famous by colorful food box company experienced a decline in sales. The brand from the United States (US) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday (17/9/2024). Not only that, several subsidiaries included in Tupperware Brands Corp are also included in bankruptcy protection. Tupperware's business journey had been stumbling in the last few years before the pandemic. However, the company recovered due to the Covid-19 pandemic, when some people decided to stay at home and this increased demand for airtight plastic containers.[1]

One of the reasons Tupperware went bankrupt was the surge in raw material costs, such as plastic receipts, labor costs, product delivery. This puts pressure on the profit margins of the food box manufacturers. Tupperware Brands Corp CEO Laurie Ann Goldman said Tupperware plans to file for bankruptcy protection after violating debt terms and seeking help from legal and financial advisors. "Over the last few years, the company's financial position has been greatly affected by the challenging macroeconomic environment," he said, quoted from an official statement, Wednesday (18/9/2024).[2]

Based on the bankruptcy filing in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Tupparware listed assets worth US$ 500 million to US$ 1 billion and liabilities worth US$ 1 billion to US$ 10 billion. Tupperware has continued to try to turn around its business situation over the last four years, after reporting sales declines for six consecutive quarters, since the third quarter of 2021. This decline occurred due to high inflation, which continues to weaken low-income and middle-class consumers. In 2023, Tupperware completed an agreement with lenders to restructure debt obligations and signed investment bank Moelis & Co to assist in the exploration of strategic alternatives.[3]

Tupperware is also closing its only US factory in 2024, located in South Carolina. This closure resulted in the termination of employment (PHK) of 148 people. The Tupparware brand, which was founded in 1946 or is 78 years old, has become a brand in world households. However, the brand is now less popular among young consumers. This is one of the reasons for the decline in demand for these legendary food boxes.[4] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Decades ago there was a robbery of 960 kilograms of gold. However, the action was finally revealed to the public. The incident known as the Nakamura Affair occurred in 1946. It involved massive embezzlement at state pawnshops. At that time, historian Ben Anderson in Pemoeda Revolution (2018) said that the center of centralization of assets during the Japanese occupation was at the Pegadaian (red. Pawnshop) office on Kramat Street, Central Jakarta. Inside there were hundreds of kilos of gold, money and other valuables.[1]

In fact, Japan wanted to move all the goods from the local pawnshop to the Kramat street pawnshop. However, Japan finally left their homeland, leaving this treasure untouched. Supposedly, the property belonged to Indonesia in accordance with the laws of war. However, it turns out that Captain Hiroshi Nakamura thought of something else to steal it, said Vincent Houben in Histories of Scale. This reckless action was supported by his superior, Colonel Nomura Akura. Nakamura took a truck to Kramat Street to steal 960 kg of gold worth 10 to 80 million guilders. He divided the stolen profits to be stored at the house of his mistress Carla Wolff and the garden of a Chinese businessman. However, it was Carla's lifestyle that finally made Nakamura's actions discovered.[2]

Carla likes to show off and squander her wealth. He even said he was richer than the Queen of the Netherlands. "I am richer than the Queen of the Netherlands. I will sleep on a gold bed and the guests will eat from gold plates," said Carla. This is what made Dutch and British intelligence representatives suspicious. Intel was curious about the origin of his wealth and conducted an investigation. They knew the treasure was stolen. Instead of reporting, they took 20 kg of gold. However, the actions of Nakamura, Carla, Nomura Akira and two intelligence officers were discovered and detained by the Dutch government. Nakamura received the heaviest sentence while Carla was sentenced to 8 months in prison.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Land is a property asset that has a fairly high value and will increase over time. Therefore, many people start buying land before building a residence so that it can become an investment tool in the future. You should discuss the process of buying land as soon as possible with the previous owner so that you can change the name of the land owner to your name so that you don't have problems in the future. However, what if you want to buy land for a house but haven't had time to change the name because the previous land owner has died? The following is how to change the name of a land certificate if the previous owner has died.[1]

Transfer of land rights in conditions like this can be submitted to ATR/BPN and registered in accordance with Article 42 of Government Regulation no. 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration regarding the Transfer of Rights due to Inheritance by preparing complete files in the form of documents and application requirements.[2]

Documents required include a certificate of the rights concerned, a death certificate of the person whose name is recorded as the holder of the rights, and a letter of proof as an heir. If you are the only beneficiary of the inheritance, then registration of the transfer of rights is carried out based on a letter of proof of being the heir.[3]

However, if you are not the only recipient of the inheritance or more than one, then you need a certificate of heirship and a deed of distribution of inheritance. A Certificate of Inheritance (Proof of Heirship) and a Deed of Distribution of Inheritance to have legal force are made before an Authorized Official, and a Determination Application can also be submitted to the Religious Court or District Court (according to the religion of the Heir and Heir).[4]

There are times when land that has been traded is not immediately transferred to the name of the certificate and is only taken care of when the original owner has passed away. In such cases, the process of changing the name is carried out in stages. The first stage is transferring the name to the heirs. Next, the land certificate which has been reversed becomes the name of the heir, then the name is reversed again to be in the name of the buyer.[5] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
