Can a Land man be the notary on a lease ?

Just wondering if a landman can notarize a lease or does it have to be a third party ?  the land man notarized my lease and i do not remember him pulling out his stamp,  i think he did it back at the office at a later time.

I don't know Ohio law. Check the signatures to be sure he is the one that signed as notary and check for listed witnesses that didn't really witness the signing .  Years ago a company used a different notary that wasn't present at the signing and that group of landowners is now  trying to get out of the lease.

my wife and i are the lessor, we both signed.  the land man put his stamp on the witness part.  he signed as the notary and witness.  fishy to me.

This get confusing. The landman stamped his seal on the witness line and then notorized. I did not see any other company agent signature. He was the agent. Witness and notary. Oh and liar.

you know I have to ask...why is it that these oil companies can get away with what is considered 'normal' contractual provisions and methods?   and most people don't do anything about it til they realized what they signed.   And then it seems to be so much riff raff to try to get out of their confusing lease in the terminology and methods not easily understood......yet it wouldn't be that way with most other contracts for sale or lease in other products, etc..

So you made a deal, signed, and now you want out of it?  I wish I could do that for the house I bought a few years back.  Man up.  You should have never signed if you didn't like the deal. A signed contact is still a contract.  If the notary is bad it just might not be able to get recorded.
