RE: OPINION OF COUNSEL - VARIABLE ACCOUNT K
Dear Mr. Kelly:
I am serving as counsel in connection with the filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission of Form 24F-2 with respect to fiscal year 1996 of
Variable Account K.
Based on my review of relevant materials, it is my opinion that the
securities sold in the fiscal year for which Form 24F-2 is being filed were
legally-issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
You may attach this opinion letter, or a copy thereof, to Form 24F-2.
Sincerely,
/s/ Lee W. Rabkin
Lee W. Rabkin, Esq.
