Will by which Francisca da Cruz appointed her husband, Cosme de Castro, to become her universal heir. She demanded that 4 annual masses had to be celebrated perpetually, for her soul and for the soul of her husband. Cosme de Castro would be responsible for attaching a property to that pious obligation, being free to appoint whoever he wished to inherit the testator's assets.

Entail foundation deed by which Cosme de Castro established an entail with all the assets he had inherited from his late wife, Francisca da Cruz, and the third part of his assets. The future administrators were obligated to support the celebration of perpetual masses for the souls of Cosme and Francisca and to bury their remains inside the chapel of Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres, which was going to be erected in Povolide. If the administrators died in Vila Garcia, where most of the entailed assets were located, the annual masses should be celebrated in the chapel of S. João of that place. He appointed his grandson, Agostinho da Cunha, to administrate it.
Belchior de Castro and Maria da Cunha Cerqueira, his wife, attached to this entail the third part of their assets.

Declaration deed by which Cosme de Castro changed some clauses of the entail foundation deed, because it was necessary to detach from the entail the assets of Capitão Domingos Sarilho, Francisca da Cruz's first husband. Cosme de Castro also asked his grandson to build a chapel devoted to S. António in the church of São Salvador of Ladário, determining that the chapel that was supposed to be build in Povolide should not be constructed.
Belchior de Castro and Maria da Cunha Cerqueira gave their approval to this deed and attached to the entail their farmstead in Ladário.
