RE: Rule 24(f)-2 Notice for American Skandia Trust
File No. 33-24962
Dear Gentlemen and Ladies:
Pursuant to Rule 24(f)-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, the above
referenced Fund hereby files the following:
1. Rule 24(f)-2 Notice; and
2. Opinion of Counsel.
There is no fee due since Registrant, a registered investment company, sells
its shares exclusively to its affiliate, American Skandia Life Assurance
Corporation's ("ASLAC") Unit Investment Trust separate accounts that fund
variable annuity contracts issued by ASLAC. ASLAC's Unit Investment Trust
separate accounts continue to pay the same fee previously paid, that is 1/29
of one percent of the maximum aggregate sale price for which such securities
were sold, with any applicable offset permitted by paragraph (c) of Rule
24f-2.
We will obtain confirmation of this filing via our CompuServe account,
72741,733. If there are any questions on this filing, I can be reached at
(302) 791-2919.
Very truly yours,

Our File No. 74877-00-100
Dear Sirs:
You have requested us, as general counsel to American Skandia Trust (the
"Trust"), to furnish you with this opinion in connection with the filing by
the Trust of the above-referenced Rule 24f-2 Notice pursuant to the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
We have made such examination of the statutes, authorities, and records of the
Trust and other documents as in our judgment are necessary to form a basis for
the opinions hereinafter expressed.
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on and
authenticity of, and the conformity to original documents of all copies
submitted to us. As to various questions of fact material to our opinion, we
have relied upon statements and certificates of officers and representatives
of the Trust and others.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Trust is a registered
business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, whose
securities, when sold in accordance with the laws of applicable jurisdictions,
and with the terms of the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
included as part of this Registration Statement, are legally issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Rule 24f-2
Notice filed pursuant to the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Werner & Kennedy
