In general, age does not make a document invalid. However, keep in mind that notarization attests only to the date of the signature and the identities of the signatories; it is not a representation that the statements in the document are true.
In particular, a notarization years later does not prove that any date in the document, other than the specific date on which the document was notarized, is in fact a true and correct date. This may or may not matter: if you sign a will, and five years later think "gee, I should have this notarized", you can go and do so without invalidating the will, because it doesn't really matter what your will said during a five-year period in which you didn't die, what matters is what it says WHEN you die.
However, if the person who made the will has died in the interim, a post-mortem notarization is going to look awfully fishy (and no ethical notary would notarize such a document anyway).
