PaineWebber Municipal Series
1285 Avenue of the Americas
New York, New York 10019
Dear Sir or Madam:
PaineWebber Municipal Series ("Trust") is an unincorporated
voluntary association organized under the laws of Massachusetts on January
28, 1987. The Trust currently consists of two series of shares of
beneficial interest: PaineWebber Municipal High Income Fund and
PaineWebber New York Tax-Free Income Fund. We understand that the Trust
is about to file a Rule 24f-2 Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, for the purpose of making
definite the number of shares of such series which it has registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and which were sold during the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1995.
We have, as counsel, participated in various business and other
matters relating to the Trust. We have examined copies, either certified
or otherwise proved to be genuine, of the Declaration of Trust and By-Laws
of the Trust, the minutes of meetings of the trustees and other documents
relating to the organization and operation of the Trust, and we are
generally familiar with its business affairs. Based on the foregoing, it
is our opinion that the shares of the Trust sold during the fiscal year
ended February 28, 1995, the registration of which will be made definite
by the filing of the Rule 24f-2 Notice, were legally issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a
"Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders
could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the
obligations of the Trust. The Declaration of Trust states that the
creditors of, contractors with, and claimants against, the Trust or a
particular series shall look only to the assets of the Trust or such
series for payment. It also requires that notice of such disclaimer be
given in each note, bond, contract, certificate, undertaking or instrument
made or issued by the officers or trustees of the Trust on behalf of the
Trust. The Declaration of Trust further provides: (i) for
indemnification from the assets of the series for all loss and expense of
any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the Trust or
a particular series by virtue of ownership of shares of such series; and
(ii) for such series to assume the defense of any claim against the
shareholder for any act or obligation of such series. Thus, the risk of a
shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability

is limited to circumstances in which the Trust or series would be unable
to meet its obligations.
We hereby consent to this opinion accompanying the Rule 24f-2
Notice which you are about to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Very truly yours,
KIRKPATRICK & LOCKHART
