Dear Sir or Madam:
As counsel for Templeton Variable Annuity Fund (the "Fund") during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, we are familiar with the registration of
the Fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (File No. 811-5024) and the
registration statement relating to its shares of beneficial interest (the
"Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-11771). We also have
examined such other Fund records, agreements, documents and instruments as we
deemed appropriate.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been
duly and validly authorized and issued as fully paid, and are non-assessable by
the Fund.
We consent to the filing of this opinion in connection with the Notice
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 to be filed on behalf of the Fund with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Dechert Price & Rhoads
