Templeton Variable Products Series Fund
700 Central Avenue
St. Petersburg, Florida  33701

Dear Sir or Madam:

         As counsel for Templeton  Variable  Products  Series Fund (the "Trust")
during the  fiscal  year ended  December  31,  1995,  we are  familiar  with the
registration  of the Trust  under the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 (File No.
811-5479) and the  registration  statement  relating to its shares of beneficial
interest (the "Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-20313). We
also  have  examined  such  other  Trust  records,  agreements,   documents  and
instruments as we deemed appropriate.

         Based upon the foregoing,  it is our opinion that the Shares issued and
delivered  have been duly and validly  authorized  and issued as fully paid, and
are non-assessable by the Trust.

         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  Trust  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                                  Very truly yours,

                                              /s/ Dechert Price & Rhoads
