Is a notary in Florida allowed to notarize family signatures?

Yes. But it is unwise to take oaths or acknowledgments in matters in which the notary has a pecuniary or familial interest.

There is normally nothing against notarizing family signatures as long as the transaction does not involve anything to their immediate benefit. Check the Notary rules for your state.
Example: It would not be a good idea for a notary to notarize her husband's signature on the deed that she is also listed on, or a will (signed by anyone!) that she was a beneficiary on.

Notary can only notarize the signature they witness.

i don't know about Florida, but in KY an IN if the last names are the same it wouldn't be legally recognized.
ask your city or county clerk's office.

I think that's one of the things they do. If you have a bank account someone there may do it for free.
