This study examines the role of notaries in the transfer of rights over land designated as abandoned land within the Indonesian agrarian legal system. The issue of abandoned land remains a significant challenge in land governance, as land that is not productively utilized contradicts the social function of land as mandated by the Basic Agrarian Law. This research aims to analyze the authority, legal responsibilities, and practical challenges faced by notaries in facilitating the lawful transfer of rights over abandoned land. The study employs a normative juridical approach, supported by statutory analysis of agrarian and notarial regulations, as well as a review of relevant legal literature and court decisions. To complement the normative analysis, empirical data were obtained through interviews with notaries, officials of the National Land Agency, and affected community members. The findings indicate that notaries play a crucial role in ensuring legal certainty through document verification, preparation of authentic deeds, and provision of legal advice to the parties involved. However, practical obstacles remain, including incomplete land documentation, ambiguity in land status, and limited public understanding of legal procedures. The study concludes that strengthening the professionalism and due diligence of notaries is essential to prevent legal disputes and to ensure that the transfer of abandoned land rights is conducted transparently, fairly, and in accordance with applicable laws, thereby supporting effective land management and social welfare.
