Will made by João Dias do Carvalhal in which he ordered the foundation of an entail, composed of an estate in Vale de Linhares, Terceira island, with a perpetual obligation of eight masses celebrated every year on the chapel of the Santíssimo Sacramento in the cathedral of Angra, where his father was buried. He named his wife Maria Borges da Barca as first administrator and her son Francisco do Carvalhal Borges after her death, being always succeeded by the eldest heir, preffering the male over the female. If he had no children, the administration should be transmitted to the closest relative. Clergyman could only administrate the entail in case of absolute absence of close relatives, and illegitimate children had preference over clergyman on the succession. He mentioned that he inherited an entail that his father founded in Guimarães, composed of a estate named Quinta do Carvalhal, which entail should be annexed to this one he founded.
