In my opinion the howler from Dumbledore and the threats from his friends to Vernon and Harry's Aunt would have been enough to get them to agree to sign anything regarding such things if the school didn't continue to accept Sirius's word that it was ok.
I am sure Harry would have used this to his advantage to insure he got what he wanted from Vernon, after all at the begining of the book, if you remember Vernon didn't know Sirius had died.
