Approval and addition deed

Approval and addition deed of the will made by Catarina Luís, first administrator of the entail founded by her deceased husband Francisco Lopes Moniz, confirming the foundation of the entail, but changing some of dispositions over the entail's succession rules. She authorized her daughter Margarida Moniz to appoint one of her nephews on the administration of the entail founded by her deceased husband, Francisco Lopes Moniz, and if she died without descendants, the administration should be given to her brother Francisco Lopes Moniz and his sons or nephews after him. If all of them died without writing a will, she appointed her grandsons Manuel or João or António, in this order. After all of them were dead, the administration should be given to the eldest male heir. As to the chapel she founded with her reserved portion, with five perpetual masses celebrated in every year, she appointed her son Rafael Moniz to administrate it during his lifetime and the closest relative after him.

Will

Will made by Francisco Lopes Moniz in which he ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a chapel in the church of Santa Cruz of Vila da Lagoa, Açores, and a perpetual mass obligation of five masses celebrated in every year. He appointed his wife Catarina Luís as first administrator and one of their sons or daughters at her choice after her death. However, if she died before appointing the successor, the administration should be transmitted to her daughter Margarida, as long as she did not became a nun, because in that case, the administration should be given to their son Francisco Lopes and, preferably, his first born male descendants after him. If he died without heirs, the administration should be given to the eldest son of his brother Rafael.
