Dear Sir or Madam:
As counsel for Templeton Global Investment Trust (the "Trust")
during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, we are familiar with the
registration of the Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (File No.
811-8226) and with the registration statement relating to its shares of
beneficial interest (the "Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No.
33-73244) (the "Registration Statement"). We have also examined such other
corporate records, agreements, documents and instruments as we deemed
appropriate.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion with respect to
the Shares the registration of which is being made definite by the Notice
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Notice") being
filed by the Trust for its fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, assuming such
Shares were sold at the public offering price and delivered by the Trust against
receipt of the net asset value of the Shares in compliance with the terms of the
Registration Statement and the requirements of applicable law, that such Shares
were, when sold, 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 on Form 24F-2 to be filed by the Trust with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the Trust's fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Dechert Price & Rhoads
