signing papers after probate

[iamme04]

What is the name of your state?nc

is it normal to have to sign papers after you have been left something in someones will ? my father died and me and my brother were the only ones in his will splitting everything in half.
my brother has taken everything and says he is going to sell it and then we will split the money. he says the attorney is sending me papers to sign saying that i have received my share so he can close the estate out.
i haven't gotten anything.
is this a normal thing to sign or by signing this then i would never have a case against my brother for any of my fathers belongings ?

is there any way to find out what all there was in the estate ?

i feel like i shouldn't sign anything unless i have actually gotten something instead of my brother saying this is what i am going to give you afterwards but go ahead and sign the paper now.
