How do I file a civil claim for land boundary encroachment by a neighbor in Indonesia?

Question

The neighbor has built a fence that crosses onto my property. I want a court order to stop the encroachment and to have the boundary properly determined. What documents are needed, how long does it take, and should I hire a local Indonesian lawyer to handle the case?

Before going to court, ask the local Land Agency (BPN) to request a land survey and establish boundaries. If the boundaries are already known but your neighbor insists on building a fence on your land, issue a warning first. If no agreement can be reached, file a lawsuit for unlawful acts with the district court where the dispute is located. My advice is to find a credible and experienced local attorney.

Dear Client,

Thank you for your question.

The first thing you can do is send a written warning to your neighbor. As a second step, you'll also need a written statement of the National Land Agency's measurement results, including the measurement letter, a picture of the situation, and a map of the land.

If there's still no progress, you can file a lawsuit with the District Court. Further, to facilitate communication and maintain pressure, it's best to hire a local attorney.

We hope this information is sufficient.
