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.

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.

How do you notarize a document that must also be signed but not notarize in a different state?
To notarize a document that must be signed but is not to be notarized in a different state, you should first ensure that the document is signed in the presence of a notary public in the state where the notarization is taking place. The notary will then complete the notarization process, which typically includes adding their seal and signature, along with the date. If the document needs to be used in another state, check if the notarization is valid there or if any additional steps are needed, like obtaining an apostille. Always consult the specific state laws for notarization requirements.
