Sign it, it is totally 'legit', and done all the time this way. The executor of the estate needs a receipt of all moneys disbursed. You can imagine how many people 'forget' to sign the receipt once the check is sent.
If you think about it, most things require a signature first, then the presentment of the check. Personal injury cases always get signatures first before disbursement. You finance a house...signing the mortgage first, then the loan funds, etc.
Course, this is just my opinion, and we don't have a legal relationship, and you should always consult with an attorney in your state, etc.
