It depends on the laws in that state. In some cases for an unsupervised estate, all beneficiaries have to sign that they agree. Other than that, there is seldom anything they need to sign.

Do family members of a will have to sign off to the executor?

It is important to distinguish here between 'family members' and 'beneficiaries'. If the will leaves the estate to people who aren't family members, then no, those family members do not have to 'sign off' the will. If, however, family members are beneficiaries according to the will, then yes, the beneficiaries will have to sign a release once they have collected whatever amount has been left to them in the will.

What are the Beneficiaries rights in an estate?

"Rights" may not be the appropriate term. A beneficiary has a "claim" to the estate, arising from their inclusion in the will. Anyway, to get to your question, a beneficiary should be given a copy of the will, so that they may view their entitlement, and the entitlement of all the other beneficiaries. Also, the Executor should contact you and inform you of their progress administrating the estate. As a beneficiary, you may have legal recourse if you do not think the Executor is administrating the estate correctly.
