Abstract The purpose of this paper is to find out about the transfer of land rights over and examine the position of the Traditional Village as the owner of land rights based on Indonesian positive law. Normative legal research is used in this study. The approach used is the statute approach and the conceptual approach. Based on the analysis carried out, it was found that the provisions for the transfer of land rights are based on Law 5/1960 and PP No.24/1997 which can be interpreted as a legal act of transferring land rights that is intentionally carried out so that the rights are released from all holders and are transferred to other parties. The customary village as the owner of land rights is reviewed based on positive Indonesian law, namely that it can be domiciled as the subject of the owner of land rights which is usually found through purchasing efforts with village funds or other businesses. However, there are still potential disputes over efforts to certify customary village land.   Abstrak Studi ini ditujukan ialah guna mengetahui tentang peralihan hak atas tanah dan mengkaji tentang kedudukan Desa Adat sebagai pemilik hak atas tanah berdasarkan hukum positif Indonesia.
