Will

He named his sister Isabel do Couto, as administrator, during her lifetime, and, after her death, Francisco Rodrigues, almocreve, with an obligation of two more masses, in a total of seven. After Francisco's death the administration would be handed to the granddaughter of Gaspar do Couto Monsaraz with a perpetual mass obligation of only two masses celebrated every year, and from there on the succession should always continue on the closest relative of the institutor's bloodline. The second entail would be composed of a land over which he imposed a perpetual obligation of four annual masses. He named his sister Isabel do Couto as administrator, during her lifetime, and, after her death, the administration would be handed to João do Couto Caldeira during his lifetime and, after his death, the land would be incorporated in the first entail.
