You may be misinterpreting the term "testamento." For the purpose of this record, the "testament" is not a "will," but requests and offerings for the priests of the parish to say prayers, such as litanies, masses, communions, and other services, for the repose of his soul, and, deceased members of his family, notably, his wife and children. Remember, this is a "religious" document - not a state legal document bequeathing money, property, or title to his survivors.
