Nations Fund Trust
111 Center Street
Little Rock, AR  72201


              Re:    Issuance and Sale of Shares of Beneficial Interest
                     of Nations Fund Trust; Registration on Form N-1A
                     Pursuant to Rule 24f-2

Ladies and Gentlemen:

              Nations  Fund Trust (the  "Trust")  has  requested  our opinion in
connection  with the sale or  issuance by the Trust of  1,539,238,253  shares of
beneficial interest (the "Shares"),  in the aggregate,  of all classes of Shares
of all portfolios of the Trust (collectively, the "Funds").

              We have examined  documents  relating to the  organization  of the
Trust and the  authorization  for registration and sale of Shares of each of the
Funds.  The opinion given below only relates to the law of the  Commonwealth  of
Massachusetts,  the laws under which the Trust was organized,  and is subject to
the  condition  that the  Trust is in  compliance  with  the  provisions  of any
applicable  laws,  regulations  and  permits of any state or foreign  country in
which any Shares of any of the Funds are sold.

              Based upon and  subject to the  foregoing,  we are of the  opinion
that:

              The  issuance  and sale of the  Shares by the Trust have been duly
and validly  authorized by all appropriate action and, assuming delivery by sale
or in accord with the Funds' dividend  reinvestment  plan was in accordance with
the  description  set  forth  in the  Trust's  current  prospectuses  under  the
Securities Act of 1933, the Shares have been legally issued,  fully paid and are
non-assessable.

              We  consent  to the  submission  of a copy of this  opinion to the
Securities and Exchange  Commission in connection with the filing of the Trust's
Rule 24f-2  Notice,  as amended,  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940, as
amended.

                                                 Very truly yours,

                                                /s/ MORRISON & FOERSTER LLP

                                                MORRISON & FOERSTER LLP
