Opening deed of the will made by the deceased Catarina Correia de Távora in which she ordered the foundation of an entail.

Will made by Catarina Correia de Távora in which she ordered, among other dispositions, the foundation of an entail with a perpetual obligation of two chapels of masses celebrated in every year on the convent of Santo André, in Ponta Delgada, where her body should be buried. She appointed her nephew António Pereira Botelho to be the first administrator and after his death the succession would continue, preferably, on the eldest male heir. If he died without descendants, the administration should be transmitted to Manuel Pereira Botelho, also nephew of the institutor, or, if he had no children, to the Misericórdia of Ponta Delgada. All administrators should bear the surname "Botelho" or otherwise lose the administration of the entail. She excluded illegitimate children of the administration and disposed that convicts on the crime of lese-majeste should lose the administration 20 hours before the commitment of the crime. She also appointed her nephew António Pereira Botelho on the aministration of the entail founded by her father, António Pereira Botelho.
