Spanish term or phrase: tengan a bien establecer
Hello. The last in a list of things that should be included in the Statutes of a Foundation:

"Cualesquiera otras disposiciones y condiciones lícitas que el fundador o los fundadores **tengan a bien establecer.**"

I have never seen this kind of use before. Any nice ideas?
