Will

Will by which Mem Rodrigues de Abreu and D. Constança Ribeiro express their wish to be buried in their chapel of Nossa Senhora do Rosário of the convent of S. Domingos of Elvas.
They bequeath their part of the estate of S. Domingos, which Mem Rodrigues de Abreu inherited from his father, to João Pereira de Abreu, Mem's brother, with an obligation of five annual masses for their souls. This estate shall pass to the child or grandchild of João Pereira de Abreu who inherits the entail of doutor João Pereira, which Mem Rodrigues de Abreu possessed, and to which he appoints his brother as next administrator.
They entail their landed properties with an obligation of a daily mass prayed by the priests of S. Paulo de Elvas. They appoint as first administrator of this entail Manuel Gomes Ribeiro, brother of D. Constança, if they don't have children. The successor shall be chosen by appointment among his descendants. If no appointment is made, the entail shall pass to his eldest son. If Manuel Gomes Ribeiro dies without descendants, the entail shall pass to one of his brothers or sisters.
They also make donations to the confrarias of S. Pedro de Elvas and of Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Brancos, ordering they pray weekly and annual masses for their souls. These obligations shall only have effect if they don't have children.
