There is a section of the law to which they must adhere regarding the Notary's own self-interest in the document being Notarized.Quote: "LIMITATION ON NOTARY PUBLIC POWERS"No notary public may act as such in any transaction in which he is a party directly or pecuniarily interested.For the purpose of this provision, none of the following shall be a "direct or pecuniary interest": 1) being a shareholder in a publicly traded company that is a party to the notarized transaction; 2) being an officer, director or employee of a company that is a party to the notarized transaction, unless the director, officer or employee personally benefits from the transaction other than on a non contingency basis; or 3) receiving a fee that is not contingent upon the completion of the notarized transaction."The Notary would be wise to divorce themselves from the appearance of of self-interest by declining to Notarize their own family's documents.A person who notarizes a document from which they may benefit exposes that document to challenges. In case of a will, trust or similar type of document, the damages could be costly if the document is found to be invalid due to the malpractice of the notary.See below link.

Can a notary sign for a document sign of a person not capable to understand what their doing?
Notaries don't notarize documents, they notarize signatures. A notary is simply certifying that the signature on the document is actually the signature of the person it appears to be. The notary makes no warranties or certifications about the contents of the document or what it does. A notary rarely even reads the document. Instead, he/she will look at the signor's identification, watch them sign, and then sign and stamp as notary.
