Will made by Ana de Almeida, in which she ordered the foundation of an entail with a perpetual obligation of twenty masses celebrated every year in the church of Espírito Santo, in Portalegre, where her body should be buried. She named her three children, Gregório Lopes, Catarina de Almeida and Isabel de Almeida to administrate the entail with the condition that they would share the administration during their lifes, and the eldest male heir of each of them. If one of them died, the administration would be handled to the others that remained alive. If none of them had children, then the administration should be handled to her nephew Manuel Ribeiro and his descendants after him. No administrator could ever marry a person descendant of new-christians, moors or hebrews.

Will chart made by Isabel de Almeida, in which she attaches several houses, and a vineyard, located in Portalegre and surroundings, to the chapel established by Ana de Almeida, her mother, with the same clauses and conditions of the institution. If there were no descendants to administer the chapel, the properties had to be detached to celebrate other pious charges.
