Original title: Costa (Monsenhor Hipolito da Purificação das Angustias e)
A wealthy Brazilian priest who died in Funchal in 1912, whose verbal will disposing of his property in Brazil and Goa led to a lawsuit in the Brazilian courts.
This Brazilian priest, who possessed a considerable fortune, died in Funchal on 9 January 1912. Shortly before his death he disposed verbally of the property he owned in Brazil and in Goa. His last wishes were contested, and a lawsuit on the matter went before the Brazilian courts. This case is the subject of the pamphlet Uma questão de direito internacional, published in Lisbon in 1913 by its author, Dr Vicente Ferrer, which refers to the stay and death of Monsignor Hipólito Costa in Funchal.
