Re: 21st Century Trust, Series 9 (the "Trust")
Gentlemen:
We have served as counsel for Van Kampen American Capital
Distributors, Inc. ("Van Kampen"), as administrator of the Trust in
connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of a Trust
Indenture and Agreement for the above-captioned series of which Unison
Investment Trusts, LTD. is Depositor and Bank of New York is Trustee,
pursuant to which the Depositor has delivered to and deposited securities
listed in Schedule A to the Trust Indenture and Agreement with the
Trustee and pursuant to which the Trustee has issued to or on the order
of the Depositor a certificate or certificates representing an aggregate
number of Units of fractional undivided interest in and ownership of the
Trust created under said Trust Indenture and Agreement.
In connection therewith, we have examined such pertinent records and
documents and matters of law as we have deemed necessary in order to
enable us to express the opinions hereinafter set forth.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
certificates evidencing the Units in the Trust constitute valid and
binding obligations of the Trust in accordance with the terms thereof.
Very truly yours,
CHAPMAN AND CUTLER
MJK/cjw
