Dear Sirs:
As counsel for Templeton Global Real Estate Fund
(the "Fund") during the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996, we are
familiar with the registration of the Fund under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (File No. 811-5844) and with the registration
statement relating to its shares of beneficial interest (the
"Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-30018).
We have also examined such other records, agreements, documents
and instruments as we deemed appropriate.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the
2,199,019 Shares and delivered by the Fund against receipt of the
net asset value of the Shares during the Fund's fiscal year ended
August 31, 1996 were duly and validly authorized, legally and validly
issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion in connection
with the Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1996 to
be filed on behalf of the Fund with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Sincerely,
/s/DECHERT PRICE & RHOADS
Dechert Price & Rhoads
