Yes. Notaries are only prohibited from notarizing for a spouse, parent, or child. The governor's office does not recommend that notaries notarize for any family members, but notarizing for in-laws is not prohibited by law.

I have not found anything specifically stating that a notary can not notarize something for their sister.

Your state's laws regulating Notaries may address this particular subject - they are all different. However, even if legally allowed such an action COULD raise the specter of a conflict of interest.

Can non resident notary notarize wills?
Generally, a notary can only notarize signatures while in a state in which they have a notary commission, for the most part. Notaries can hold commissions from multiple states (in some cases). Some states also provide reciprocity to other states, meaning a notary from one state can legally notarize documents in another (although this is not common). Whether they can notarize wills or not is another question. They almost certainly can, if they can notarize at all. Unfortunately, you will need to check your state laws to be sure.
