Yes. Unless all beneficiaries have signed off, the executor should never make final distributions.

If your sister refuses to sign, the other option is for the executor to file an estate accounting in court and seek court approval of the accounting and distribution...If approved by the court, then the refunding bonds and release are not needed and the distribution can be made.
