I don't know why your daughter-in-law's attorney is asking you to sign; you should ask him/her. In any event, you don't have a claim in this case, because your son was an adult and you were not his dependents. His wife and any children have claims, and his estate has a claim for certain things. Unless by some remote chance he had written a will and you were his primary beneficiaries, you wouldn't be entitled to anything from the estate.
