I don't know the answer to that, but I can offer a couple of other questions for you to consider.
Is whatever she saves for the cost of one notarized signature worth even the appearance of a conflict of interest? Is the potential inconvenience of going to someone else that great? Also, put yourselves into the eyes of someone not connected to either of you. How would it look to a third party? Again, if there's a possibility that someone else would consider it a conflict of interest, why bother?
I imagine your thought is to try to do her a favor, but in the long run, sometimes it's best to back out if there's even a remote possibility that an offer to help could end up doing more harm than good. |
