Due to conflict of interest, in most states notaries are prohibited from notarizing anything for immediate family members, regardless of whether the notary is named or not. Even if not specifically outlined in the state regs, as a notary I personally would decline the request to avoid any perception of conflict of interest. It's not worth potentially losing my notary commission.
