Will by which Aleixo Dias Falcão, inquisidor, expresses his wish to be buried in the college of Madre de Deus de Cochim, if he dies in that city. He establishes an entail and chapel with the remaining part of the assets he is sending to Portugal, which shall be employed in the acquisition of landed properties or public debt instruments. He orders the construction of a chapel of the invocation of Santo Aleixo in the church of S. Martinho of Pinhel, and orders the transfer to it of the bones of his parents, licenciado Francisco Dias and Isabel de Sela. The administrator of the entail shall order daily masses for their souls. He designates a young man named Manuel as heir of his entail, and his children afterwards. If he dies without successors the entail shall pass to Aleixo's sister, Violante Falcão, and to her descendents. If she also doesn't have heirs, the entail will pass to their maternal uncle, António de Sela, and from then on, instead of being inherited by the eldest sons, shall be inherited by the closest relatives to his mother, starting with António's brothers.

Will made by padre Amaro Muacho, beneficiado in the main church of Crato, where he wished to be buried, in which he ordered the foundation of an entail composed of two olive groves in Crato, with a perpetual obligation of sixteen masses celebrated every year.

If he died without taking state, then the administration should be transmitted to his father and mother Lopo Muacho and Maria Biscaia, and their son Marcos Muacho and his first born heirs after him. He disposed that every administrator should bare the surname Muacho or, otherwise, lose the administration.

Will of Gaspar da Rocha Pais. The testator orders that his body be buried in front of the altar of S. António. His bones would later be transferred to the mother church of Viana and buried next to his parents and grandparents. As he had no forced heirs, he decided to make his nephew Francisco da Rocha, son of his sister Catarina da Rocha Pais, his universal heir, excluding all other relatives from his inheritance, especially his sister Susana da Rocha for the wrongs she had done to him and their father. His nephew and heir was also appointed administrator of the hospital founded by João Pais o Velho, in which Gaspar had also succeeded his father. Gaspar da Rocha Pais states that he built a hermitage in his Deocriste manor, dedicated to Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, to which he bequeathed property and ornaments. He had already obtained a provision authorising the celebration of masses in this hermitage. The chapel and the estate of Deocriste were to be entailed and owned by the same person. His nephew, Francisco da Rocha, was appointed administrator, to be followed by his descendants, giving preference to first-born sons and excluding illegitimate children and clerics. The administrators were obliged to use the family name of Rocha Pais.
