Last Updated: Dec 5, 2025
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.
