Will made by Cristóvão Vaz and his wife Ana Fernandes in which they ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a perpetual obligation of a weekly mass celebrated in the chapel that they were building in the mother church of the island of Santa Maria, Açores, devoted to Santo André, where their bodies should be buried. They ordered specifically that only their bodies should be buried on that chapel, where a vault with their names should be placed. They named one another to administer the entail after the first of them died. After both of them were deceased the administration should be transmitted to their daughter Maria Velha, continuing, preferably, on the eldest male heir. If Maria died without heirs, the administration should be transmitted to her sister Joana Fernandes with the same conditions. If none of them had children of their own, a royal magistrate should appoint an "homem bom" to administer it. Cristóvão Vaz Velho mentioned that his father Francisco Vaz Velho had appointed him administrator of his entail, and that he named his daughter Maria Velha to succeed him on the administration.
