Gentlemen:
FT International Trust ("Trust") proposes to offer and sell Shares of
Beneficial Interest ("Shares") in the manner and on the terms set forth in its
Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
As counsel we have participated in the organization of the Trust, its
registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the preparation and
filing of its Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933. We
have examined and are familiar with the provisions of the written Declaration
of Trust dated March 9, 1984, ("Declaration of Trust"), the Bylaws of the
Trust and such other documents and records deemed relevant. We have also
reviewed questions of law and consulted with counsel thereon as deemed
necessary or appropriate by use for the purposes of this opinion.
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
1. The Trust is duly organized and validly existing pursuant to the
Declaration of Trust.
2. The Shares which are currently being registered by the amended
Registration Statement referred to above may be legally and validly issued
from time to time in accordance with the Declaration of Trust upon receipt of
consideration sufficient to comply with the provisions of Article III, Section
3, of the Declaration of Trust and subject to compliance with the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and
applicable

will be fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement referred to above and to any application or registration statement
filed under the securities laws of any of the States of the United States. We
further consent to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal Counsel
and Accountants" in the prospectus filed as a part of such amended
Registration Statement, applications and registration statements.
Very truly yours,
