Re: Registration No. 2-99260
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have served as counsel to Pruco Life Insurance Company (the "Company") and
to Pruco Life Insurance Company Single Premium Variable Life Account (the
"Account") in connection with the registration with the Securities and
Exchange Commission of an indefinite number of securities (specifically
variable life insurance contracts) pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Company and the Account are
preparing to file a Rule 24f-2 Notice with the Commission pursuant to which
theregistration of $16,142,000 worth of such securities issued during year
ended December 31, 1996 is made definite.
Based on our examination of the relevant documents contained in the Account's
registration statement, and assuming that the variable life insurance
contracts were issued in accordance with the terms described in that
registration statement, that the Account received payment for the contracts,
and that the appropriate action was taken to qualify the sale of the variable
life insurance contracts under applicable state laws, we are of the opinion
that the variable life insurance contracts are valid, legal and
binding obligation of the Account in accordance with their term and are
nonassessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion, in connection with the Rule 24f-2
Notice, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
SHEA & GARDNER
