Absolutely not. The will should be notarized by a disinterested third party. A will notarized by the executor would expose it to being challenged after the death of the testator, the court would likely disallow the will and the estate would pass as intestate property. The "executor/notary" may find herself in additional trouble if she benefits from that situation. A general rule is that a notary may not notarize any document from which they would derive a benefit. An executor would derive a benefit because they would have intimate control over a person's estate. A notary should have a working knowledge of the rules that govern that office.
