Will

Will made by Maria Rodovalho in which she ordered, among several other dispositions, the foundation of two entails. The first entail should have a perpetual obligation of one mass celebrated every year, in the day of N. Sra da Assunção, on her mother's grave in the monastery of S. Francisco, where her body should be buried. To administrate this entail she ordered the executor of her will to appoint a female relative that should also appoint a female successor after her death, so that the entail was always administrated by woman. The second entail had a perpetual obligation of one mass celebrated every week and she appointed her son Francisco Correia to administrate it during his life, and after his death the succession should continue on the eldest male heir, preferably.

Codicil

Codicil made by Maria Rodovalho in which she approved the foundation of the two entails, one of them founded on the occasion of the marriage of her son Francisco Correia, and also included the clauses of indivisibility of the entailed assets. On this entail, she disposed that if the administration was given to a female administrator she would only have it until a male heir was capable of assume the administration. If the administrators bared no children of their own, the administration should be transmitted to the Misericórdia.
