What is the law in Ohio if a notary lets someone who isn't a notary use his stamp and let them forge his name legal?

If the notary allowed his stamp to be used, he can have his notary license removed, he can be fined, and, can also receive jail time. However, the transaction that was improperly/illegally notarized MAY still be legal because Ohio law is strange sometimes. Generally, the punishments are monetary and the trouble you get in will be directly related to the costs incurred by the other parties involved. If you helped someone sell a house illegally, you can be held liable for the entire cost of the house plus legal fees for all parties.
