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.
