Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance Company of America
32991 Hamilton Court
Farmington Hills, MI 48334
Gentlemen:
In my capacity as Attorney of Alexander Hamilton Life Insurance Company of
America ("Company"), I have supervised and participated in the preparation of
Rule 24f-2 Notice to be filed by the Company and Alexander Hamilton Separate
Account A ("Account") with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933 and relating to individual variable annuity contracts
participating in the account. I am of the following opinion:
1. The Account is a separate account of the Company duly created and validly
existing under Michigan law.
2. The individual variable annuity contracts were legally issued in
accordance with the prospectuses contained in the Registration Statement to
which the Notice relates and are legal and binding obligations of the Company
in accordance with their terms. Such contracts are fully paid and
non-assessable.
3. The assets held in the Account are not chargeable with liabilities
arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.
In arriving at the foregoing opinion, I have made such examination of law
and examined such other records and documents as in my judgment are necessary
or appropriate.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Notice.
Very truly yours,
/s/ J. Gregory Poole
