Hi
Any family settlement deed need not be registered . Your legal document of succession is valid to the extent of proof that there was an agreement to partition the parties.
however the properties need to be compulsorily registered after paying stamp duty and taxes by parties.
Now the settlement deed is totally valid in eyes of law and the document will definitely help you in the court proceedings.

it depends upon the nature of document which is executed and the notion which was transfered or created in the document the documents specifically mentioned in section 17 of the registration act are compulsorily registrable unless they wont be admitted by evidence and if the documents falls within the perview of sec 18 then it is admissable and if such it also must pass the test under section 65 to 68 of evidence act
