Quick Summary

This discussion explores whether an immovable property can be registered based on a family settlement agreement. While registration of a family settlement deed isn't always compulsory, it's advisable for clarity. The transfer of immovable property typically requires the owner's legal right to sell or transfer. If a family arrangement is the basis for transfer, registering the settlement first is generally necessary.

In the case of an immovable property only the owner/s can legally sell or transfer the property. If it is required to be legally transferred on the basis of family arrangements these have to be registered first.
