Re: Cortland Trust, Inc. Registration No. 2-94935

Gentlemen:

We have  acted as counsel  to  Cortland  Trust,  Inc.,  a  Maryland  corporation
(the"Company), in connection with the public offering of the Company's shares of
Common Stock,  par value $.001 per share,  and on various other  securities  and
general corporate matters.  We understand that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment  Company Act of 1940, the Company has registered an indefinite number
of  shares  of  Common  Stock  under  the  Securities  Act of 1933.  We  further
understand that, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 24f-2, the Company is filing
with the Securities and Exchange Commission the Notice attached hereto dated May
26,  1995  making  definite  the  registration  of shares of Common  Stock  (the
"Shares"),  sold in reliance  upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended March
31, 1995.and

We have  reviewed,  insofar  as they  relate  or  pertain  to the  Company,  the
Company's  Registration  Statements on Form N-1A filed with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company
Act of 1940,  as amended to the date hereof,  pursuant to which Shares were sold
(the  "Registration  Statements").  We have also  examined  originals  or copies
certified  or  otherwise  identified  to our  satisfaction  of  such  documents,
corporate  records and other instruments we have deemed necessary or appropriate
for the  purpose of this  opinion.  For  purposes of such  examination,  we have
assumed  the  genuineness  of all  signatures  on  original  documents  and  the
conformity to the original documents of all copies submitted.

Based upon the  foregoing,  we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly
and validly  authorized and,  assuming that the Shares have been issued and sold
in accordance  with the Company's  Articles of  Incorporation  and  Registration
Statements and that the  consideration  received  therefor was not less than the
par value thereof, the Shares which the Rule 24f-2 Notice atttached hereto makes
definite in number were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

We consent to the filing of this  opinion  with the Rule 24f-2  Notice dated May
26, 1995 attached hereto.


                                                               Very truly yours,
                             /s/Kramer, Levin, Naftalis, Nessen, Kamin & Frankel
