Beatriz Gomes, Cosme Bernardes entail

Libel of accusation

Libel of accusation by Beatriz Gomes Chainha, widow of Duarte Serrão, against Cosme Bernardes, her son-in-law, widower of her daughter, Isabel Serrão. Beatriz claimed that she was the universal heir of her daughter, as she had died without successors, and requested the issuing of a partition deed of her properties, since the first one had been stolen. Cosme Bernardes claimed the properties in question, which were in Almada, Alhos Vedros and Lisboa, didn't belong to his wife but to the third part of his mother, Beatriz Gomes, and were entailed to the chapel she had established.

Her son can appoint the next administrator among his children, and the chapel shall pass to their descendants afterwards. If he dies without succession, the entail shall pass to Beatriz's granddaughter, Maria Gomes, or to her nephew, Brás Serrão, son of Filipa Gomes, or to another person of Cosme's choice.
