To ensure the fulfilment of these obligations he entails them to his estate, Quinta da Horta, in Bucelas. The testator notes that his Casal do Carvalhal, located in S. Lourenço de Banho, was already entailed to the obligation of a mass for his father’s soul, as established by his father’s will and which António Vaz Pereira was required to fulfil. The testator states that these properties comprise a third of his assets and will be assigned to his heirs after his death, but always with the specified obligations attached. If the properties are sold, they must be sold with the obligations attached unless their owners reach an agreement with the priests of the convent to release them from these charges.
