Yes, registered family settlement gives valid title of property and it has as binding effect on parties to document as valid partition .

On being registered (which is optional) the family settlement is a valid document qua title of share of each member / shareholder.

Yes. It shall be treated as a Partition. In the partition deed, it has to be mentioned as all the family members decided to make the partition their property, and accordingly, it is executed. Then it will be treated as a partition deed. In some of the states like in AP, the family settlement deed (though it is the same as a partition) requires stamp duty more than the Partition deed. So you shall mention it as the partition. For the stamp, duty purpose inquire in local SRO/Document Writer or a lawyer who drafts the deeds.
