More details to this question:
I am a beneficiary of the estate of my Uncle. The executor has not provided details of the sale of properties, but is requesting that I sign a release stating so, in order to receive my share of the proceeds. My share is supposedly about 5K. Is it worth it to pay an attorney to pursue full disclosure, before signing off on this ?

Why would you lie? Do you think that someone who is asking you to lie will then give you money? It is common for an executor to request a signed receipt and release. Please note the word "receipt." Please also note that it is not common to provide the "full disclosure" you desire.
