The chapel was to have four chaplains, two appointed by each administrator. They entail various assets to fulfill the charges. For administrators, on behalf of Lourenço Coelho Leitão, they nominate João Gomes Leitão, his nephew, and on the part of Ana Cardoso de Távora, Manuel Homem Cardoso, his nephew. Together, they also nominate the provider of Misericórdia of Viseu.
João Gomes Leitão was to be succeeded by the founder's closest male relative, who lived in the city of Viseu, with his priority descendants. Manuel Homem Cardoso was to be succeeded by a male descendant. If he didn't have them, the administration would pass to Constantino Moreira, his brother.
