Given the brief facts above, in the wake of your already signed settlement deed you may forget about land, unless that settlement deed is void in law. Anything can happen with the property, irrespective of whether your document was not power of attorney or not.

Better get the settlement deed examined by some local property laws expert to find if still there is any scope of retrieval of your property.

Cancel the POA if you are not comfortable with it.

If it was a POA, you may cancel the same.

It would be better to show all documents to local lawyer and discuss in detail.
