The formal expression of consent in post-divorce joint-property agreements does not necessarily eliminate concerns regarding its freedom and validity, particularly where the parties occupy unequal bargaining positions. This study examines the scope of notarial responsibility in such agreements and the conditions under which notarial conduct may give rise to civil liability. It also formulates a gender-sensitive framework for protecting valid consent within contemporary notarial practice. It employs normative legal research using statute and case approaches to analyze Indonesian marriage law, contract law, notarial law, judicial decisions, and relevant scholarship. The findings show that a notary is not responsible for guaranteeing a predetermined distributive outcome or numerical equality in the division of joint property. Notarial responsibility is directed toward the legality and integrity of the consent-forming process, including compliance with statutory formalities, legal capacity and authority, proper formulation of declarations, and the freedom and validity of consent. Civil liability requires a cumulative showing of breach attributable to the notary, fault or negligence, actual legally recognizable loss, and causation. As its normative contribution, the study proposes a graduated procedural model consisting of ordinary verification, enhanced clarification when procedural red flags arise, and legally justified refusal where unresolved legal obstacles remain. This model reconciles gender-sensitive protection, party autonomy, notarial impartiality, and professional accountability without transforming the notary into an adjudicator of distributive fairness.References
