Estêvão Leitão entail

Will

Will by which Doutor Estêvão Leitão, Desembargador dos agravos da Casa da Suplicação, establishes an entail with the third part of his assets, including houses he had in Lisboa, instituting the pious obligation of celebrating annual masses in the church of the convent of S. Domingos of Lisboa. He appoints his wife, Francisca de Avelar, as his heir and tutor of their infant son. She was also obligated to support the celebration of annual masses in the convent of Santo António do Varatojo, in Torres Vedras, as long as she lived. After Francisca's death, the entail would be inherited by their son. He chooses to be buried in the church of the referred convent. Followed by an approval deed, issued on 1562-06-08, and an opening deed issued on 1562-06-29.
