Abstract
Taking the will of the leonine, Ruy Díaz Ramírez de Quiñones, who emigrated to Panamá in the last quarter of the XVI century as its basis, this article has a triple objective. First to indicate the permanent and material links with his native country. Second to emphasise his desire that he be remembered by his relatives and former fellow citizens through his charitable works. Thirdly to reflect on the difficulties of foundations, because in spite of the norm on goods of deceased, these or they did not arrive at their destiny, or they did it so diminished by the lawsuits and the years, that made them nonviable.
