Equitable Variable Life Insurance Company
787 Seventh Avenue
New York, New York 10019
Dear Sirs:
This opinion is furnished in connection with the filing by Equitable
Variable Life Insurance Company ("Equitable Variable") of a Notice (the
"Notice") pursuant to Rule 24f-2 (the "Rule") under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 relating to the registration by Equitable Variable and its Separate
Account I ("Separate Account I") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933
Act") of an indefinite amount of interests ("Interests") to be issued under
variable life insurance policies (the "Policies"). An indefinite amount of
Interests was registered by the filing under the 1933 Act of Post-Effective
Amendment No. 11 to Registration Statement No. 2-54015 on Form S-6 (the
"Registration Statement"), which became effective on April 30, 1981.
The Policies are designed to provide life insurance protection for the
whole of life under the plans and arrangements described in the Prospectuses
included in the Registration Statement (the "Prospectuses").
I have examined all such corporate records of Equitable Variable and
such other documents and such laws as I consider appropriate as a basis for the
opinion hereinafter expressed. On the basis of such examination, it is my
opinion that:
1. Equitable Variable is a corporation duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the State of New York.
2. Separate Account I was duly established and is maintained by
Equitable Variable pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, under which
income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from assets allocated to
Separate Account I, are, in accordance with the Policies, credited to or charged
against such account without regard to other income, gains or losses of
Equitable Variable.

3. The assets of Separate Account I are owned by Equitable Variable;
Equitable Variable is not a trustee with respect thereto. The Policies provide
that the portion of the assets of Separate Account I equal to the reserves and
other Policy liabilities with respect to Separate Account I will not be
chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business Equitable Variable
may conduct and that Equitable Variable reserves the right to transfer assets of
Separate Account I in excess of such reserves and Policy liabilities to the
general account of Equitable Variable.
4. The Policies (including any Interests duly credited thereunder) have
been duly authorized by Equitable Variable and each of the Policies (including
any such Interests) constitutes a validly issued and binding obligation of
Equitable Variable in accordance with its terms. Purchasers of the Policies are
subject only to the deductions, charges and fees set forth in the Prospectuses.
Yours very truly,
/s/ Mary P. Breen
