After her death, it shall be bequeathed to his cousin, Francisco de Távora, or to Manuel Godinho de Faria, if Francisco de Távora has already died or is absent from the kingdom. After their deaths, the chapel shall be bequeathed to a grandson of Álvaro Gastão, Francisco Gastão's brother, and to his descendats afterwards. If the lineage is extinguished or the administrators don't comply with the obligations for two years, the chapel shall be bequeathed to the closest relative of Francisco Gastão, with the exception of the descendants of Rui Gomes da Costa.
