Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for Farm Bureau Life Variable Account
Registration No. 33-12789
Gentlemen:
I have acted as counsel to Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company
(the "Company") and Farm Bureau Life Variable Account (the
"Account"), in connection with the registration of an indefinite
amount of securities in the form of certain flexible premium
variable life insurance contracts (the "Contracts") on Form S-6
(File No. 33-12789) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and the notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, by which the registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 of $6,856,751 in such securities (the
"Securities") sold during 1995 was made definite.
I have examined such documents and such law as I considered
necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of such examination,
it is my opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly
existing as a stock life insurance company under the laws of the
State of Iowa and is duly authorized by the Insurance Division of
the Department of Commerce of the State of Iowa to issue the
Contracts.
2. The Account is a duly authorized and existing separate
account established pursuant to the provisions of Section 508A.1
of the Iowa Code (1995).
3. Unless provided to the contrary under the contracts,
that portion of the assets of the Account equal to the reserves
and other contract liabilities with respect to the Account will
not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other
business that the Company may conduct.
4. The Securities have been legally issued and the
Contracts under which they have been issued, constitute legal,
validly issued and binding obligations of the Company.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Account's notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2.
Very truly yours,
MORAIN, BURLINGAME, PUGH & KOOP
