The Importance of Joint Assets in Marriage

Joint assets are assets that are obtained during the marriage period and are owned by both husband and wife. According to Article 36 paragraph 1 of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, husband and wife are allowed to act against joint assets as long as there is approval from both parties. This is very important to maintain justice and balance in marriage relations. In practice, when a joint property is used as a fiduciary guarantee, a written agreement is needed stating the approval of both parties. This aims to avoid disputes in the future that can arise due to the dissatisfaction of one party.

Legal Regulation of Joint Assets

The legal regulation of joint assets is governed by Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. According to this law, joint assets are assets that are owned by both husband and wife and are used for the benefit of both parties. The law also states that husband and wife are allowed to act against joint assets as long as there is approval from both parties. This is very important to maintain justice and balance in marriage relations.

Implementation of Credit Agreement

At PT Pegadaian (Persero) Medan Sunggal Branch, the implementation of credit agreements on joint assets used as fiduciary guarantees involves quite tight stages. The pawnshop officers are required to apply the 5C (Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, and Condition) concepts in customer assessment. This is not only to ensure that the guarantee proposed is indeed valid, but also to ensure that husband and wife understand and approve all credit agreements. The notarization process is also needed to strengthen the validity of the agreement and make both parties responsible for credit payments.

The Role of Notarization in Credit Agreements

Notarization is a very important process in credit agreements involving joint assets. According to Article 18 of Law Number 30 of 2004 concerning the Notary, notarization is a process of verifying the authenticity of a document. In the context of credit agreements, notarization is needed to strengthen the validity of the agreement and make both parties responsible for credit payments. The notarization process involves the presence of both husband and wife, as well as the notary, to verify the authenticity of the agreement.

Problem Solving in Payment Congestion Cases

When facing a situation of payment congestion at PT Pegadaian, the steps taken are very structured. First, the pawnshop will make persuasive efforts by contacting the customer by telephone and sending a summons letter. If the effort is unsuccessful, the next step is to carry out the execution of guaranteed goods accompanied by the police. The process carried out will remain in accordance with applicable legal procedures to ensure that the rights of all parties are maintained.

The Importance of Following Legal Procedures

Following legal procedures is very important in solving payment congestion cases. According to Article 18 of Law Number 30 of 2004 concerning the Notary, all parties involved in a credit agreement must follow the applicable legal procedures. This is to ensure that the rights of all parties are maintained and that the agreement is valid and enforceable.

Conclusion

This thesis shows that the legal arrangement of shared assets as fiduciary guarantees must pay attention to the approval of both parties as the main requirement. In addition, the implementation of credit agreements also needs to be done carefully, by involving a notary and application of the 5C principle. In the event of a payment congestion, the problem solving procedure must be strictly followed so that the rights and obligations of all parties remain protected.
