A settlement deed can be challenged by the beneficiary’s sister only on valid legal grounds like fraud, coercion, undue influence, or lack of mental capacity. If the property is ancestral, she may claim her share. For self-acquired property, challenge is difficult. She must file a civil suit with proper evidence; without proof, courts generally uphold a valid settlement deed. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
