TINJAUAN YURIDIS MENGENAI PERAN KURATOR DALAM PENGURUSAN DAN PEMBERESAN HARTA PAILIT

Abstract

Bankruptcy is a condition where a debtor is unable to pay their debts, and the role of a curator is crucial in managing and liquidating the bankrupt estate. A curator, appointed by the court, is responsible for overseeing the bankruptcy process and ensuring the estate is distributed fairly among creditors. In Indonesia, the curator's role is regulated under Law No. 37 of 2004 on Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payment (UUK), which provides the legal framework for the curator’s rights and obligations. The estate management process involves various challenges such as unclear asset ownership, lack of cooperation from debtors, and difficulties in selling assets with low or hard-to-sell values. Thus, efforts to enhance transparency, accountability, and the use of technology are essential to streamline the process. Curators must also act professionally and maintain integrity throughout the process, ensuring that the process is carried out fairly and in accordance with applicable laws.
