Deed Drafting Takes 40–50 Minutes: The Hidden Cost Slowing Firm Growth
In Indonesia, a notary is authorized to prepare authentic deeds for various types of transactions: AJB, APHT, Fiduciary, company incorporation for PT, CV, foundations, and many more. Every deed requires a precise structure, correct legal language, and accurate data.
Drafting a single deed manually takes an average of 40 to 50 minutes — and that is only if there are no revisions.
If a firm handles 10 deeds per day, that means 400–500 minutes — more than 8 hours — spent just typing drafts. That does not yet include review, revisions, and signing.
This is one of the biggest hidden costs in notary office operations. Long drafting time does not just waste working hours — it also limits how many clients can be served each day, extends client waiting time, and increases the risk of staff burnout.
Ironically, the longest part of this process is not the legal analysis — it is the administrative work that should already be automated.
Root causes of manual drafting:
- Deed drafts are typed from old Word templates that are often inconsistent across staff
- Each type of deed has a different structure — junior staff often get the clause order wrong
- Repeated revisions happen because data is incorrect or formatting does not meet notarial standards
- Daily capacity is limited because drafting becomes a bottleneck
