Not likely. A document does not have to be signed in front of the notary. The notary can verify that it was proved to them by reliable evidence that the person who signed the document is the person who is purported to sign the document. Furthermore a document intended to be signed in one county can be validly signed in another county. So unless you have evidence of forgery, you have no case.
