c/o The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc.

Re: Rule 24f-2
Dear Sirs:
In my capacity as Counsel to The Guardian Insurance & Annuity Company, Inc.
("GIAC"), I have represented The Guardian Separate Account C (the "Separate
Account") in connection with the authorization for issuance of Individual Annual
Premium Variable Life Insurance Policies and the filing of the Separate
Account's Registration Statement on Form S-6 (File Nos. 811-5679; 33-25153) for
the registration of an indefinite number of units in accordance with the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") and the Securities Act of 1933 and
the rules promulgated thereunder.
I am familiar with the Certificate of Incorporation and the corporate records of
GIAC, the depositor of the Separate Account, since its incorporation, and have
examined such instruments, agreements and other documents as I have deemed
necessary or appropriate as the basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the units of the Separate
Account sold during the year ended December 31, 1996, and made definite in
number by the filing herewith of a notice on Form 24F-2 as required by Rule
24f-2 under the Act, were issued and sold in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in the Separate Account prospectus constituting a part of
its Registration Statement and, upon payment of the stipulated consideration,
said shares were legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the filing of a copy of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Form 24F-2 being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of
the Separate Account for the year ended December 31, 1996.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Richard T. Potter, Jr.
Richard T. Potter, Jr.
Counsel
