Will by which Estêvão Nogueira expressed his wish to be buried in the cathedral of Portalegre and established an entail with a perpetual pious obligation of one mass celebrated every day as long as the world lasted over his tomb. To administrate it the institutor named his daughter Maria Nogueira during her lifetime, with the condition that she would marry with Bento de Andrade, if he returned safe home from the Armada and wished to marry her. After Maria's death, the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir.The institutor ordered that all administrators should bear the surname Nogueira.

Will by which D. Maria Nogueira, widow of Bento de Andrade Pimentel, expresses her wish to be buried in the chapel of Nossa Senhora da Luz in Portalegre, which she founded with her husband. She annexes her reserved portion, consisting of four estates, to the entail founded by her father Estêvão Nogueira. She also establishes an entail with the remaining part of her properties, to be annexed to her father's with a perpetual obligation of five annual masses. She names her son Manuel de Andrade as first administrator of this new entail and also as successor on her father's entail, following all the succession clauses disposed by Estêvão Nogueira. She also disposed that all future administrators should henceforth use the surname Andrade Nogueira, and would be obliged to annex assets worth 20 000 réis to the entail, declaring expressly that she wished all administrators of the entail to be "very rich in order to make many services to God and to the poor people".
