INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT
The Board of Directors
GE Life and Annuity Assurance Company
(formerly The Life Insurance Company of Virginia)
GE Life & Annuity Separate Account 4
(formerly Life of Virginia Separate Account 4)
We consent to the use of our reports incorporated herein by reference and to the
reference to our firm under the heading "Experts" in the Statement of Additional
Information.
Our report dated January 22, 1999, contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that effective April 1, 1996 General Electric Capital Corporation acquired all
of the outstanding stock of The Life Insurance Company of Virginia in a business
combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the
consolidated financial information for the periods after acquisition is
presented on a different cost basis than that for the periods before the
acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.
