No. A notary shouldn't notarize any instrument they may derive a benefit from. Further, they should not acknowledge their own signature. That document would be extremely vulnerable to challenges.

Can a notary public notarize a document that he has assisted in drafting?

No, a notary public should not notarize a document that they have assisted in drafting, as this creates a conflict of interest and undermines the impartiality required in notarization. Notaries are expected to be unbiased witnesses to the signing of documents, and their involvement in the drafting process can compromise that role. It is best practice for a notary to remain neutral and only notarize documents they did not help create.
