I am not sure that you understand the use of an Affidavit of Heirship.  It is used to establish kinship - one party's relationship to another - in an estate proceeding.  It is signed by someone who is considered "neutral" - not a beneficiary to the estate - and it is signed and notarized.  It has no monetary component.  Good luck.
