Is it possible for a land owner to have a memo recorded stating that the lease has expired?

You can record anything you want, but unless it is signed by the lessee it will be a waste of time and money.

At least wouldn't that serve as notice that the land may be available to a probing landman? Granted, a release would be best but if the lessor can't motivate the lessee to release it...

Thanks for all of the contributions on this discussion. My purpose in starting the discussion was to learn about the process at the end of a lease. We did read our lease thoroughly and there was no mention in it about the leasing company notifying us at the end of the lease. It was our decision to contact an attorney to write and send the certified letter requesting the release. We thought that this would be the smart thing to do. It would provide us, the leasing company and any landman researching our section with a clear sign that the land was not tied up. If there had been a problem with the lease, the leasing company would have caught that fact when we presented the request for the release and notified us. Since we have the release, we know that the leasing company agrees with us that particular lease is over, with no problems at a later date.
The bill for this was $50. To have this issue resolved: priceless!! LOL
