More details to this question:
3 brothers. Grandfather dies- in will his house is left to the deceased's daughter (the brothers mother) and 2 brothers. The 3rd brother left out is in prison. Imprisoned Brother is expecting a cut of the money from the sale of the house. (Family is very dysfunctional.) Their mother coerced my husband (the oldest brother) to sign an affidavit to give jailed brother money from the sale of the house. Grandmother (mother of the brothers) is a notary public and not only drafted/wrote the affidavit she also notarized it. We are now being sent to small claims court by the imprisoned brother to pay him money. Please tell me that this case is going to be thrown out because the affidavit is inadmissible. I have done lots of research to know that none of this is legal.

No one can tell you that other than a judge. Its sounds like there is a whole lot of improper stuff going on here, so you can never tell whats going to happen. If you truly expect to defend it in court, you may well just need to hire an attorney to address it.
