Will

Will by which Gaspar Serrão declared that he wanted to be buried in the chapel of São José, in Azinhaga, that he ordered to built. He designated his nephew João Serrão, o Grande, to be its first administrator, with the obligation to order the celebration of masses for his, his parents and his siblings' soul. The institutor also founded an entail, composed of some lands and vineyards in Golegã, lands in Pombal, houses and olive groves in Azinhaga, Bacelos and Barreiro, an oil press in Borda d'Água and an "armazém" in Azinhaga. He also incorporated his "padroado" of the chapel of São José into this entail, and obligated his administrator to contract a chaplain, to have the chapel clean and with candles and all the necessary for the celebration of masses. After João Serrão's death, this entail should be succeed by his eldest son or, in his absence, by his daughter. The institutor also left some assets to his niece Violante Serrão but, if she died without heirs, these assets should be inherited by João Serrão and his heirs. Followed by an approval deed dated 1664-09-29.
