A settlement once made becomes absolute and is irrevocable, as it takes immediate effect.. Only a will can be altered or undone, during the course of lifetime of the author (creator of the will) In the case of settlement, if there is consensus amongst the beneficiaries, they could suitably agree to alter their benefits,conceding in between; but such action cannot be not by a mandate of the author, as could be done in the case of a Will.

Settlement cannot be altered as mentioned by Mr. Venkatraman Shrinivas. What is your exact requirement is not known. You just clarify things in clear simple words.
