Hello,

Settlement deed in terms of immovable property like land/building, is a legal document wherein parties settle their differences or disputes. Legal Definition states Settlement is a disposition of property/properties – whether movable or immovable, as per the choice of the owner of the said property/properties. A settlement deed for it to be valid has to be brought down in writing and has to be registered. Usually the nature of disputes settled through a settlement deed are court cases, property division, payments settlement. A settlement deed between members of a family is a family settlement deed, and most often it is related to the division of property. Settlement deed is a legally enforceable document and has to be registered. Only those properties can be settled which have been self-acquired (properties inherited and received through family partition are also considered self-acquired properties).
