Commissioners:
I refer to the Form 24f-2 dated March 26, 1999 with respect to the Registration
Statements on Form N-4 relating to variable annuity policies funded by Separate
Account VA-5NLNY of Transamerica Life Insurance Company of New York (the
"Account"). The initial Registration Statement registered an indefinite number
of securities of the Account pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. The Form 24f-2 makes definite the amount of securities
of the Account which were so registered under the Registration Statements.
I have examined and relied upon copies of the Registration Statements and all
amendments thereto, as well as the Form 24f-2, and I have examined and relied
upon originals, or copies certified to my satisfaction, of such corporate
records, documents, certificates and other instruments as in my judgment are
necessary or appropriate to enable me to render the opinion set forth below.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the individual variable annuity
policies funded by the Account and the units of interest thereunder, the
registration of which the Form 24f-2 makes definite in amount, were duly
authorized and legally issued, and are fully-paid and non-assessable.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion in connection with the filing of the
attached Form 24f-2.
Very truly yours,
William M. Hurst
Vice President and
Associate General Counsel
