Document background
The Absolute Deed of Sale Form (Akta Jual Beli - AJB) is a fundamental legal instrument in Indonesian property law, required for all formal transfers of land and building ownership. This document is used after the parties have agreed on terms and made initial payments, typically following a preliminary sale and purchase agreement (PPJB). The AJB must be executed before a Land Deed Official (PPAT) who has jurisdiction in the area where the property is located. It serves as the definitive evidence of property transfer and is required for registration at the National Land Office. The document includes comprehensive details about the property, parties' identities, transaction value, tax obligations, and various legal warranties and declarations. Its format and content are strictly regulated by Indonesian law, particularly the Basic Agrarian Law and related regulations governing land registration and property transfers.
