Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice
Ladies and Gentlemen:
First Investors Multi-State Insured Tax-Free Fund (the "Trust") is a
trust organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 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 ("1940 Act"),
for the purpose of making definite the number of shares which it has
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), and
which it sold during its fiscal year ended December 31, 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 its Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, as
now in effect, and certain other documents and certificates of officers and
representatives of the Trust relating to its organization and operation, and
we generally are familiar with its business affairs. Based on the foregoing,
it is our opinion that the shares of beneficial interest sold by the Trust
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995, the registration of which
will be made definite by the filing of a Rule 24f-2 Notice, were legally
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We express no opinion as to compliance with the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act,
or applicable state securities laws in connection with the sale of the
Trust's shares.
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 trustees of the Trust shall have no
power to bind any shareholder personally or to call upon him for the payment
of any sum other than such as the shareholder may agree to pay by way of
subscription for Trust shares, and every document entered into on behalf of
the Trust must include a recitation limiting the obligation represented
thereby to the Trust and its assets. The Declaration of Trust further
provides that any shareholder subject to any personal liability solely by
reason of his having been a shareholder is entitled to be held harmless from
and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability and
the Trust shall, upon request by the shareholder, assume the defense of any
such claim made against that shareholder and satisfy any judgment thereon.
Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Trust 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. We
also consent to the reference to our firm in the prospectus filed as part of
the Trust's registration statement.
Very truly yours,
KIRKPATRICK & LOCKHART LLP
