RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT NO. 33-49566
Gentlemen:
In my capacity as in-house counsel to Phoenix Home Life Mutual
Insurance Company, I have served as counsel to the Phoenix Home Life Separate
Account B in connection with the registration on Form N-4 of an indefinite
number of its units of beneficial interest under the Securities Act of 1933 and
the subsequent notification with respect to 83 such units sold in reliance upon
Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996 (the "Units").
Based on my review of the relevant materials, it is my opinion that the
Units are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. I consent to the use of
this opinion in connection with the Form 24F-2 to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Richard J. Wirth
Richard J. Wirth
