How to sign small estate affidavit for multiple heirs under power of attorney?

Honestly, it is more trouble than it is worth having you do it the way you are. Put in the document that it may be signed in counterpart, and have everyone sign, get the signatures notarized, and submit the form. You will have trouble having the documents signed with a POA. Institutions are squirrely enough about giving up the money with a clean Declaration. Don't risk being it kicked and having to start over.

You need to speak to a lawyer about your estate planning needs, to make sure your assets go where you want them to. You may want to have a prenuptial agreement with your future wife to avoid any problems. You may also want to execute a new will after your marriage that in detail explains what is to happen to your assets. Above all else, however, you should meet with a lawyer to discuss your situation.

What is my recourse if one of her nieces contested the will saying she was not in her right mind when the will was written?

Unless your stepmother legally adopted you, you don't have any right to or claim on her assets after her death unless she bequeathed you something in her will. If the will is thrown out by the probate court and there is no other valid will in existence, the state's intestacy laws will apply in determining who her heirs are.
