Will

Will made by António de Brito Correia and his wife Maria Guedes, in which they have ordered the foundation of an entail with an obligation of two weekly masses celebrated in every year for their souls. They instructed the executioners of their will to sell all of their properties in Bahia and purchase other properties in Portugal, in order to be entailed. They named their son, António Guedes de Brito as first administrator and, after his death, the succession should always continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir, If the last administrator had no heirs, he or she could appoint a person to suceed on the administration. All administrators should bear the surnames Guedes and Brito to have the administration, and also annex half of their own reserved portions to the entail at the moment of their deaths.
