No ... this would come under the heading "conflict of interest". The idea of notarizations is proper identification of whomever is signing a legal paper or document. You could be held legally liable if the signor did not have proper identification. The paperwork would also raise lots of questions in a court of law ... signed documents by family members and notarized by same family member. Wouldn't advise it.
