Jordi Bofill's post-mortem inventory reveals him to have been a man of substance, but no profession or location for his house is given. He has a number of oratoris, retables and paintings scattered through the house, books on medicine in a cupboard (which might be an indication of profession), and a few books. He has a good deal of old, silver and jewellery, among which are found a silver cornetts with bells, according to two entries: 'Item vnes joquetes de vna corneta dargent ab cascauells pesa 2oz' and 'Item vna corneta dargent que dire era del dit Jordi Bofill'. These separate items are found in two different spaces, the first in the main room, the second in the room in the tower. Inventoried on Friday 23 May 1533, in a small room, is found a harpsichord, but this instrument appears to be pawned to his widow Joana: 'Item vn clavicort ab son gorniment de fust lo qual sta penyora per vns duies [?] que lo hereu a prestats .a madona joana viuda'. Similarly, a clavichord found in the room above the larder ('la cambra sobre lo rebost') appears to belong to someone else, in this case 'mossen Catala'.
