Scope and content

Will by which Manuel Mendes Mexia expresses his wish to be buried in the church of Santa Maria Madalena of Olivença, where his parents and grandparents are buried. He bequeaths his third part, consisting of his estate of Porto Cordeiro, to his wife, Margarida Restolha, during her lifetime, as a chapel, with the obligation of 30 annual masses for his soul and the soul of their daughter, Inês Mendes. After his wife's death the entail shall pass to their son, João Mendes Mexia, and to his descendants. If he dies without successors, it will pass to Manuel's grandson, Álvaro, if he is a cleric. If he isn't, the entail will pass to his niece, Beatriz Mendes, daughter of his brother Bento Mendes Mexia. If none of these heirs have successors, the entail will be joined to the one established by João Mendes Valentim, Manuel's father, with the same obligations.
Followed by the approval deed of the will, in which Manuel Mendes Mexia orders several masses in other churches.
