Will

Will made in Portalegre by Beatriz Vaz, in which she ordered the foundation of four entails. The first entail would be composed of some houses, over which she imposed a perpetual mass obligation of five masses celebrated every year as long as the world lasted, naming her niece Ana Mealheira to administrate it during her lifetime and her descendants after her, as long as she married with a person of her condition. If Ana had no children, the administration would be handled to her brothers or sisters with the same conditions. The second entail would be composed of a land over which she imposed a perpetual mass obligation of three masses celebrated every year, naming her niece Aldonça Siqueira and her descendants after her. The third entail would be composed of a vineyard over which she imposed a perpetual mass obligation of two masses celebrated every year, and would be administrated by her nephew Jorge Siqueira and his descendants. She donated some houses to Ana, a freed enslaved woman that served her, during her lifetime, and, after her death, those houses would be incorporated on the entail administrated by Jorge Siqueira. The fourth entail would be composed of one share of an estate named Herdade das Canas, over which she imposed a perpetual mass obligation of three masses celebrated every year, naming her nephew Baltasar de Siqueira as first administrator and his descendants after him. She also left two soutos to her niece Isabel Delicada with the condition that she would have them during her lifetime, but, after her death, those lands would be annexed to the entail administrated by Baltasar Siqueira, son of Isabel, with a perpetual mass obligation of five masses celebrated every year.
