Baltasar da Silva should be succeeded by Diogo Lopes da Rocha, her brother. After his death, the entail would be administrated by the prior of that convent.
Catarina da Rocha also declares that if the executors choose not to establish a chapel in that convent, they could use part of her assets to found a college dedicated to the study of arts and theology. There, it would be instituted a chapel, where her remains would rest and masses should be celebrated for her soul. Followed by an approval deed issued on 1615-02-28.
