No. As the words used depct-family settlement means a settlement arrived at between the members of a family.

There is no impediment in law to make a stranger in the family deed of settlement presuming that person has got some interest in the property in question .

What interest such an "outsider" has in the family settlement? Whether he is getting something or is giving something in such settlement? Why he is being made a party? All these and other factors determine as to whether he can be a party or not.
There seems to be no reason to make a person party to a family settlement if he is neither a family member, nor getting anything nor giving anything in a family settlement.

How can outsider be a part of family settlement when he does not hold any interest in the property IN NO WAY ?
