What if my car title was not notorized properly?
Your question is a bit confusing. A notarized signature is either done properly or not at all. I am a notary and you can't make an improper notarized signature. Also, who told you it wasn't properly notarized and what made them say that? I know more questions than answers but to give you a valid answer these need to be clarified. Shepherd 564

Is a notary signature valid if the notary is a relative?
It depends how close a relative. If its your spouse, then almost certainly not. The notary cannot have any stake in the transaction. Familial relationships would likely guarantee a conflict of interest. This is a common problem with notarizations generally. The signature is valid, and the transaction notarized could be valid, but it is certainly not best practice.
When does a notary expire?

DOES a notarized document become a binding contract?
The notary seal and notary's signature does not make a document a binding contract. The signatures on a contract can be notarized. However, when a document if notarized, the notary is simply stating that to the best of their knowledge the signature is that of the person signing the document. In other words, the notary verifies a signature that they witness. A contract would be binding once the participants sign it in front of the notary and the document is notarized.
