Following the death of his father in July 1889, Augusto de Sousa e Castro's heir, António Cândido de Sousa (and Castro Moraes Sarmento) landowners, obtained from the "Ministério das Obras Públicas" ("Ministry of Public Works") a 15 year patent associated with the therapeutic waters of the parishes of Prado and Paderne. This move resulted in a judicial process by the remaining partners on 17 August 1891, that was resolved in July 1893, through a transaction. On 1 May 1894, the "Empresa Santos, Sobral & C.ª" was constituted with investment capital of 20 contos, of which a portion was conceded legally to the older concessions António Cândido de Sousa and Castro Morais Sarmento.
