Notary's Responsibilities Regarding Deeds Read by Notary Employees in Front of an Audience

A notary in carrying out his office to make an authentic deed has obligations that must be carried out. One of the obligations is to read the deed as regulated in Article 16 paragraph (1) letter (m) UUJN which states that "to read the deed in front of the presenter in the presence of at least 2 (two) witnesses, or 4 (four) witnesses specifically for making the deed of will is private, and signed at that time by the presenter, witness, and notary." The obligation to read the deed in front of the audience must be carried out by the notary himself and is not delegated to the notary's employees. In practice, there are notaries who do not read the deed in front of the audience, but are replaced by notary employees to read the deed in front of the audience. So the purpose of this writing is to examine and analyze the notary's responsibilities regarding deeds read by notary employees in front of an audience, as well as analyzing the legal consequences of deeds read by notary employees in front of an audience.
