RE: Opinion of Counsel - Preferred Life Variable Account C
Gentlemen:
You have requested our Opinion of Counsel in connection with the filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission of Form 24F-2 with respect to
Preferred Life Variable Account C.
We have made such examination of the law and have examined such records and
documents as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to
render the opinions expressed below.
We are of the following opinions:
1. Preferred Life Variable Account C is a Unit Investment Trust as that
term is defined in Section 4(2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"Act"), and is currently registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Act.
2. Upon the acceptance of purchase payments made by a contract owner
pursuant to a Contract issued in accordance with the Prospectus contained in
the registration statement and upon compliance with applicable law, such
contract owner will have a legally-issued, fully paid and non-assessable
contractual interest in Preferred Life Variable Account C.
This opinion is limited solely to its use as an exhibit to your Form 24F-2
filed pursuant to Rule 24f-2.
Sincerely,
BLAZZARD, GRODD & HASENAUER, P.C.
