The Legal Status And Protection of Heirs’ Rights To Inherited Land in Pesawaran Regency: A Perspective From Civil Law And Islamic Inheritance Law
Abstract
This study was motivated by the delay in the distribution of a twelve-hectare inherited plot of land in Pesawaran Regency since 2006, involving seven heirs. The delay was triggered by the unilateral action of one of the heirs who claimed ownership after paying off a bank loan, then sold the land without the consent of all the heirs, thereby causing conflict and legal uncertainty. The research questions encompass the causes of the delay, the legal status of the land, and efforts to protect the heirs’ rights. The objectives of the study are to analyze the causes, examine the legal status, and formulate legal protections based on civil law and Islamic inheritance law. The method used is qualitative with a socio-legal approach, employing interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis includes reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions, with validity testing through credibility, dependability, confirmability, and transferability. The research results indicate that delays are caused by internal factors, such as unilateral actions by heirs, and external factors, such as a lack of legal assistance and emotional considerations. The legal status of the land is joint ownership among the heirs. Unilateral sales are invalid, whereas repurchase by other heirs aligns with the concept of syuf’ah. Protection of rights can be pursued through mediation or through the Religious Court
