Gentlemen:
I am familiar with the proceedings taken on behalf of First Investors Life
Variable Annuity Fund C (the "Separate Account") in registering with the
Securities and Exchange Commission an indefinite number of Individual Variable
Annuity Contracts (the "Contracts") and the registration statement covering the
Contracts.
I have examined such records of the Separate Account, certificates of
public officials and other documents and such questions of law as I have
considered necessary as a basis for this opinion. Based on such examination, I
am of the opinion that the Contracts of the Separate Account sold during 1996
are legally issued, fully paid and, except for the payment of premiums when due,
non-assessable.
This opinion letter is governed by, and shall be interpreted in accordance,
with the Legal Opinion Accord of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991). The law
covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the Federal law of the
United States and the law of the State of New York.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the report
of the Separate Account made pursuant to Rule 24f-2 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Robert J. Grosso
