You already engaged a lawyer and so ask him who knows your case details.

If he signed the family settlement deed before the witnesses who are ready to testify, then you can file a suit and court would hear the parties and witnesses to deed and will decide . It happens mostly when people take money and refuse to appear before registering authority.
