Re: Registration 2-76642
Gentlemen:
I have examined the documents relating to the establishment of ReliaStar Bankers
Security Variable Life Separate Account I, (the "Separate Account") for variable
Life contracts established by the Board of Directors of ReliaStar Bankers
Security Life Insurance Company (the "Company") as a separate account pursuant
to New York Insurance Statutes 4220 as amended, and other matters of law as
deemed necessary for this opinion and advise you that in my opinion:
1. The Separate Account is a separate account of the Company duly created and
validly existing pursuant to the laws of the State of New York.
2. The contracts that have been issued by the Company to date are described in
the prospectuses which constitute a part of the registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are legal and binding
obligations of the Company in accordance with their respective terms.
3. The portion of the assets held in the Separate Account equal to the
reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to the Separate
Account are not chargeable with liabilities out of any other business of
the Company.
I consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with the Company's filing a Rule 24f-2 Notice under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
Sincerely,
/s/Robert B. Saginaw
