Can settlement deed be revocked when the person dies is it legal
02-Sep-2023 (In Property Law)
My father's sister settled a property to my father keeping the life interest for the settlor (which is my father's sister). My father passed away and then this settlement was revocked by her. Can she do that? In the settlement deed it was mentioned absolutely and irrevocably. At the same time it is also mentioned it will go absolutely to my father after her life time. Kindly suggest whether this settlement can be revocked. If revocked is it valid before the law?
If the Settlement Deed is conditional in Nature, the Settler can cancel the Settlement if the settlement deed is Absolute Settlement Settler has no right to cancel the deed, if your settlement deed was not Absolute,then you can file a suit

Settlement deed is irrevocable in nature. Only WILL can be revoked during the life of the author of the WILL. If your statement given above is right it is in-efficacious and sub-standard draft without application of mind. But, However i am not arraying to a judgement on the deed in question without seeing it. And posted the answer only to suit your query mentioned herein.
