Best Answer

Yes

(Actually, it depends, but probably not a good idea)

From the Colorado Secretary of States Web site:

"You are not prohibited from witnessing and notarizing the signatures of a spouse or other relatives. However, a notary public who has a disqualifying interest in a transaction cannot legally perform any notarial act in connection with the transaction. If the document were to be questioned for any reason, the notarial act may be looked at more closely than if the notary was not a relative.

Also, if the witnessed document is one from which you might benefit, your right to receive that benefit may be jeopardized. To avoid questions about your impartiality as a notary as well as accusations of undue influence, it is always safest for a signer to find a notary that he/she is not related to."
